Genocide in Pictures
Foreword by Biafra Activation Forum (BAF)
Atrocities and genocide committed against the Igbo nation of Biafra by the
government of Nigeria and Northern Nigeria
We publish these pictures--horrendous, horrible, debasing, shameful and
shameless--not to sicken your feelings, not to disgust your conscience, not to
arouse your judgment.
It is an extremely difficult decision to publish these pictures. But, given
that these pictures do not symbolize just one or two, not even three,
occurrences of well organized, planned and well executed pogroms with
genocidal intent against a specific nation by another, we are just as equally
extremely compelled to make them public.
All the more so because these activities are still going on in the 21st
Century Nigeria. Can you believe that a celestial event such as the lunar
eclipse of January 2001 was a reason for some Northerners to go on another
rampage, destroying Igbos and their property in that region? And to think that
it hadn't even been a year since thousands of Igbo were targeted and massacred
and their property destroyed in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, with the government of
Nigeria standing idly by.
We publish these pictures because we want this living (and dying) nightmare
to end--now.
Biafra actualization is the only mechanism which will ensure that the
cyclical genocide against the Igbo nation by the government of Nigeria and
Northern Nigerians comes to an end.
Biafra actualization is the only effective protection to the continuous
killing and maiming of the Igbo and the wanton destruction of their property by
the government of Nigeria and Northern Nigerians.
We come in peace: we will actualize Biafra in peace, so to end this hellish
nightmare.
That is why we publish these pictures.
BAF thanks all those who made this album possible.
