The Movement Of Biafrans In Nigeria (MOBIN) unequivocally and unreservedly condemns the mindless,callous and unprovoked mass-murder and devastating destruction of lives and livelihood of Nigerians in South Africa.
MOBIN is particularly alarmed that the government of the former Apatheid enclave has continued to treat these killings as mere criminality instead of arresting such xenophobia with the seriousness it deserves.
MOBIN further wonders why the government of President Mohammadu Buhari has been treating these killings with the same insensitivity and docility with which it has treated the ethnic cleansing that has gone on in Nigeria in the last 5 years, and which has turned the country into one gigantic human abattoir! MOBIN is particulary worried because more than 70% of the victims of these horror are biafrans engaged in legitimate business in a country whose freedom had cost Nigeria human and material resources.
Are the youths of South Africa helping to perpetuate what is happening in Nigeria? And is that why the government in Abuja is not bothered?
Just imagine an American or an Isreali citizen dying in a foreign land,under unclear and unexplainable circumstances! Do you think Washington D.C.and Jerusalem would treat it with the level of levity that Abuja is treating the unbelievable attacks on Biafran-Nigerians in South Africa?
These killings have occurred so many times that those in South Africa now think that it is normal to unleash such dastardly acts without much ado.Why is the government of Buhari ‘reacting’ instead of ‘responding’ too late and too little?
These killings have been going on for over 3 years,with over 130 Nigerians killed.
MOBIN calls on Abuja to immediately sever diplomatic ties with South Africa and demand reparation for these killings and destructions. Biafrans should no longer be used as pawns on the chess-board of indolent and confused international politics,even when a Biafran is Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Buhari government claims to have withdrawn from the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) in South Africa, but it appears to be a hoax the attack on our Embassy is vilifying and must be redressed with diplomatic debonair and despatch.
MOBIN believes that retaliation or attack on South African interests in Nigeria is too cheap, immature, reactionary, unnecessary and counter-productive.The government in Abuja should do the needful.
Enough of empty talk at tea meetings.
When we seek self-determination, it is for times like these.
A relatively or absolutely free Biafran territory would not fold her arms and watch helplessly and beggarly as her citizens are mauled down deliberately and continually in a craze-maze display of infantile and demonic orgy that is symptomatic of a declaration of war. The world is watching.
