The Biafra Independent Movement and Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, BIM-MASSOB, has secured membership of Biafra into the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO).
UNPO, is an international organisation attached to the United Nations, the European Union and the United States of America for member-nations united in a shared philosophy of non-violence and who suffer marginalisation and repression within their mother-countries and are in search of their own independence.
In a letter addressed to the leader of BIM-MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 through the foreign representative, by the UNPO General Secretary, Ralph Bunche, the Organisation expressed “gladness to welcome the people of Biafra as new members of the UNPO.”
By this development Biafra now joins Catalonia, Scotland and other nations, which are seeking independence, as was the case with now independent countries like Armenia, Latvia, South Sudan, East Timor, Estonia, Georgia, Slovakia and others.
A statement by Ikenna Obibi Egeonu, Foreign Representative to Chief Ralph Uwazurike, the admittance and recognition means that the UNPO has officially “taken over the Biafra independence challenge.”
