The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) can authoritatively
confirm that the outgoing Obama administration of the United States of America
have completed plans to deploy to Biafraland, five hundred (500) units of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) popularly called “Drones” with a view to using
them to bomb and massacre Biafrans under the guise of helping the murderous
Muhammadu Buhari’s regime to stop pipeline vandalism. The deployment and
bombings was supposed to have started about six months ago but was put
on hold because of the possible negative impact on the chances of Mrs. Hillary
Clinton on the presidential election. A new date of 1st of June 2017
was later agreed as the commencement for the bombing of Biafraland because Mr.
Obama was confident that Mrs. Clinton will surely win the election.
Fortunately for the Biafrans, Mrs. Clinton lost the
election, and Mr. Donald J. Trump won. As IPOB congratulate Mr. Trump on his
well-deserved victory, we call upon him to cancel this scheduled mass-murder of
Biafrans. The reason why Mr. Trump must cancel the deployment of Drones that
would be used to kill Biafrans is that it goes against the Leahy Law. Just like
INTERSOCIETY noted in their press statement, “the Leahy Law is a U.S. human
rights law that prohibits the U.S. Department of State and Department of
Defense from providing military assistance to foreign military units that
violate human rights with impunity.” It is on record that Muhammadu Buhari has
extra-judicially murdered over five thousand innocent and unarmed Nigerians
within one year of becoming the president and most of those killed were
Biafrans.
Instead of Mr. Trump continuing with Obama’s plan to deploy
Drones to exterminate Biafrans, we strongly recommend that the new President
insists on Buhari obeying the rule of law and that he should practice true
constitutional democracy devoid of ethnoreligious bigotry and genocidal
tendencies. Mr. Trump must demand from Mr. Buhari that he respects the
inalienable and irreducible rights of Indigenous People to self-determination
as enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
People (UNDRIP). Also, Mr. Trump should tell Buhari to ensure that those who
perpetrated heinous crimes, and regime atrocities must be brought to
book.
In particular, we re-echo the words of INTERSOCIETY which
state as follows: “Total policy reversal on the part of the Buhari
Administration; particularly in the areas of regime image and
communications (i.e. moving away from regime falsehood, deceit and
propaganda); trade and investment; human rights, rule of law, good
governance, security and criminal justice administration. Such policy
reversal must include unconditional release of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu and all other
political detainees as well as de-criminalization and
de-stigmatization of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Islamic Movement of
Nigeria and their lawful activities. It must also include bringing to domestic
or international justice those involved in various regime atrocities such as
killing of over 800 unarmed and innocent members of the Islamic Movement of
Nigeria (IMN) and over 250 unarmed and innocent members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) and other Pro-Biafra campaigners as well as over 300
wounded Pro-Biafra campaigners and hundreds of members of IMN also wounded by
the Nigerian Army. High profile regime atrocities’ perpetrators like Lt
Gen Turkur Buratai, Retired IGP Solomon Arase and their then
sub-commanders must particularly be brought to justice.”
To recap, IPOB hereby urge President-elect, Mr.
Donald. J Trump, to distance himself and his Administration from the planned
deployment of five hundred Drones to Biafraland which would be used to commit
genocide. Rather, Mr. Trump should work assiduously towards the restoration of
the nation of Biafra.
Finally, we state without equivocation that the restoration
of the nation of Biafra shall have three irreversible impacts on the United
States of America and these are:
1) Reduction of unemployment rate in
the USA by a minimum of 2% for the next ten years because of massive
rehabilitation projects that will take place in Biafra which requires American
expertise,
2) Isolation of terrorist operations
to the Northern region of Nigeria because Biafra is a terrorist-free nation,
The safest place for any American outside
of their homeland USA will be in Biafra.
President-elect Donald Trump and the entire United States citizens
shall have everything to gain from a free and independent nation of Biafra.
