  • Afrika Ägypten 7. Juli 1968 - Biafras Innenminister spricht in London; Großbritanniens Haltung zum nigerianischen Bürgerkrieg sei heuchlerisch , sagte Biafras Innenminister Herr Mojekwu gestern Abend in London. Einerseits gibt uns Großbritannien Kugeln, um uns zu töten, und andererseits Milch, um uns zu retten. Herr Mojekwu bestritt wütend, dass seine Regierung die Hungersnot und das Flüchtlingsproblem für Propaganda und politische Zwecke missbrauche. Er verlangte eine massive Luftbrücke nach Biafra. Nicht die Soldaten würden versorgt, sondern Flüchtlinge, hungernde Kinder und alte Menschen. Er wiederholte jedoch, dass Biafra keine Lieferungen akzeptieren würde, die über nigerianisches Bundesgebiet geleitet werden.
