BIAFRA: " OPERATION PYTHON DANCE" 11 AND WHY NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT/ARMY MUST PROVIDE MAZI NNAMDI KANU
By Moses Agbo Obinna
For Family Writers Press.
The horrendous genocidal exercise tagged "Operation Python Dance" carried out by the Nigerian Army, targeted at Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra {IPOB }, is one of the most dangerous ethnic cleansing of the 21st Century. Though many would say that it was not new in Nigeria, after all the authorities or cabals as they call them,who have no regard for the safety of people have been giving orders not only to kill but to erase the lineage of their perceived enemies or political opponents.
Nevertheless, in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB and the Nigerian government, it was a different ball game that showcased the high level of illiteracy, hatred, injustice and double standard of the expired British concocted entity called Nigeria.
Reason being that,IPOB and her supreme leadership has been agitating for self-determination. And self determination, which is an ineligible right of the Indigenous People is internationally recognized. What is needed to achieve self-determination is a referendum as every democratic society does .
Self determination is enshrined and recognized by United Nations charter. It does not have to do with secession neither does it call for military force unlike what we see in Nigeria as commanded by the government in collaboration with her brutal Armed Forces.
No doubt, the activities of the Nigerian Armed Forces under the disguise of "Operation Python Dance" 11 has vindicated Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Biafrans on why a united Nigeria cannot work.
The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari who openly vowed to crush Biafra agitators, tagged them a "terrorist" organisation . Hence, he treats Biafrans as "terrorists". This is a man who supported the independents of his fellow Muslim countries without knowing that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
Muhammadu Buhari instructed his military to lay siege in the South East. The military invaded Nnamdi Kanu’s home, massacred more than twenty eight persons and hundreds in different parts of Abia State, destroyed the entire compound with sophisticated weapons, stole all the valuable items in the house and finally made away with both Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents.
The condition or whereabout of Nnamdi Kanu and parents is unknown. With his disappearance, Nigeria is now sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode, as the silence of a lion does not make it a coward. Biafrans are waiting patiently for the panel to conclude it's investigations.
Finally, UN and other numerous International Organizations, Human Right groups should rise to their primary responsibilities. They should as quickly as possible prevent the impending doom.They should as a matter of urgency, implore all the necessary actions in making sure that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released in good health and initiate the process for a UN supervised referendum. This will enable Biafrans to determine their fate in Nigeria.
