Biafra: Implications of Putin’s Recognition of Ukraine’s Breakaway Regions | #IgbereTV
By Johnny Omokwu
The interventions by the US πΊπΈ and the UK π¬π§ over the recognition of the independence of the breakaway eastern Ukraine πΊπ¦ regions of Donetsk and Luhansk by the Russian President Vladimir Putin is too overbearing and uncalled for.
Donetsk and Luhansk regions of the eastern Ukraine have suffered political exclusion and high-powered marginalization, even when they’re the largest oil producing regions of Ukraine. If one wants to understand fully what is happening in the Donetsk and Luhansk areas of Ukraine, one should rather take close attention to what Ndα»Igbo and other eastern states are passing through in the hands of Fulani oligarchs of the northern Nigeria.
In 2014, Russia intervened with a view to bringing the parties into reaching a compromise, a feat that didn’t last for two years before the Ukrainian authorities doubled their political witch-hunting and detentions without trial of some prominent Donetskian republic agitators.
The political situation the agitators of Donetskian and Luhanskian Republic were, before now, subjected into has attracted the sympathies of Syria πΈπΎ, Russia π·πΊ, China π¨π³, Hungary ππΊ, Germany π©πͺ and other countries.
The countries mentioned above said whatever they’re to do in Ukraine, if at all, is purely on “peace keeping”.
It’s now a common knowledge that European countries take pride in what some regions in some oil producing countries are passing through. NdiIgbo in Eastern Nigeria have been in political exclusion and marginalization for decades with no attention from the British government. If by tomorrow President Putin of Russia decides to back Ndα»Igbo in actualizing the Biafra of their dreams, the same US and UK with their allied forces would come baying for showdown.
The UK, US and its allied forces should do the first thing first by bringing peace to bear on all the warring regions of the world.
Enough said!
