The Biofron Humanitarian Crisis, 1967—1970 offers a fresh approach to the Nigeria-Biafra
War, the humanitarian crisis that Biafra faced, the strategies Nigerian authorities employed
to reinforce hegemony and mobilize other nations and resources against Biafra s war of
independence, and the contradictions inherent in wartime humanitarian efforts.
—Chima J. Korieh, Marquette University
This book is a powerful contribution to the historical scholarship on global humanitarian
intervention in political conflicts. Readers must salute the author for his intellectual depth
and social vision in treating such a sensitive subject with fairness and wisdom.
—Raphael Chijioke Njoku, Idaho State University
Drawing on multiple archival sources, Arua Oko Omaka provides a refreshingly original
and deeply analytical interpretative history of the humanitarian aspects of the Nigeria-Biafra
War. This book marks an important contribution to modern African history and the broader
scholarship on armed conflicts and international humanitarianism.
—Bonny Ibhawoh, McMaster University, Canada
Omaka has broken new ground with his blending of archival sources in several countries
and his interviews. The scholarship is admirable the narrative compelling. This fine book
recounts atrocities, but it balances them with insights into idealism and humanitarianism in
a decade packed with events brutal as well as relatively innocent.
—John Weaver, member of the Royal Society of Canada and Distinguished
University Professor at McMaster University
This book focuses on the Biafran humanitarian crisis of 1 967—1970, which generated a surge
of human rights anxieties and attracted the attention of world humanitarian organizations.
For the first time in recent history, different church groups and humanitarian activists around
the world came together for the sole purpose of alleviating human suffering and saving lives
regardless of theological differences, race, ethnic affiliation, nationality, or geographical
distance. Despite their role in shaping the course and outcome of the conflict, most scholars
of the Nigeria-Biafra War treat the humanitarian aspect of the war as a footnote, making it
appear less important among other issues of interest in the conflict.
The Biafran Humanitarian Crisis, 1967-1970 underlines that the international humanitarian
aid largely contributed to the internationalization of the war. The efforts of the churches
from thirty-three countries that remain virtually unexplored was not just the first of its kind
in the developing world but also the largest civilian airlift in history. While the paucity of
scholarship on the humanitarian aspect of the Biafra War could be attributed to the new-
ness of this field of enquiry, the increase in conflicts in different parts of the world has just
opened humanitarian aid studies as a new frontier in academic study. This book is a master-
ful example of scholarship in this newly emergent field.
Arua Oko Omaka ¡s lecturer at Federal University, Ndufu Alike, Ikwo, Nigeria.
