Více o knize

"The Igbo genocide is the foundational genocide of post-(European) conquest Africa. This genocide has been executed by Nigeria and its suzerain-state Britain since 29 May 1966. It inaugurated Africa's current age of pestilence. It is the longest and one of the bloodiest genocides of contemporary history. The genocidists murdered 3.1 million Igbo (25 per cent of the Igbo population) during phases 1-III of the genocide 29 May 1966-12 January 1970. They have murdered tens of thousands of additional Igbo in phase IV, 13 January 1970 - present day. No single nation or people in Africa has suffered such an extensive and gruesome genocide and incalculable impoverishment in a century as the Igbo."-- Page 4 of cover
