Biafra, officially known as the Republic of Biafra, was a secessionist unrecognized state
in West Africa which existed from 30 May
1967 to January 1970; it was made up of the
states in the Eastern Region of Nigeria.
Biafra’s attempt to leave Nigeria resulted in
the Nigerian Civil War.
The state was formally recognised by
Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and
Zambia.
Other nations, which did not give official
recognition but provided support and
assistance to Biafra, included Israel, France,
Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia, South
Africa and the Vatican City.
Biafra also received aid from non-state actors,
including Joint Church Aid, Holy Ghost Fathers
of Ireland, and under their direction Caritas
International, MarkPress and U.S. Catholic
Relief Services.
As of 1967, Biafra occupied a total area of
77,306 Km/Sq. Some people still say Biafra
will be smallest by size, but this article was
written to create awareness that Biafra was
and will be larger than most states in the
world.
According to statistics and prior to the Biafran
Map as recorded in 1967, Biafra is larger in
size than 81 countries in the world including
Israel. Its closest in size is Serbia which is
77,420 Km/sq by size.
