pollpwing is a continuation
of an artiele begun in last week's
issue, written by Grade 13
student 13arhara Elliott on a
series of speeches heard recently
at South Huron District High
School.
The fierce and brntal war
between Biafra and Nigeria, in
the words of an eyewitness, Mr.
E. Gingerich, who worked as a
hospital administrator there, "It
has become one of the worst
tragedies of this century."
In the beginning, the
Nigerian popplation was made
up of many diversified tribes.
The Ibos, now Biafrans were the
most culturally and
economically advanced of these
tribes and as such were resented.
This resentment was
expressed in a policy of open
genocide with Biafrans being
brutally murdered on sight.
The Ibos fled to eastern
Nigeria where a great nation of
refugees sprang up and using the
area's oil resources, Pr9SPered.
These peaceful refugees lived in
constant fear of attack and total
destruction by the northern
tribes.
The lbos, deeply resenting
the British influence on the
Nigerian economy attempted to
form their own nation. The
British, in an effort to safeguard
their oil concessions in. Biafra
encouraged and supported the
Nigerians thus prolOnging and
intensifying the conflict.
The consequences have been
staggering. In October the deaths
numbered 20,000. This figure
rose to 30,000 in November.
The projections for December
ranges from 50,000 to 750,000.
At least a million will die by the
end of January.
They are the victims of
widespread starvation and
disease. The policy of Nigeria is
to blockade the country and
starve it into submission.
What is being done about
stopping this war? The subject is
a delicate one for politicians of
every country. Since it seems to
be an internal conflict,
interference would be looked
upon as an aggressive act against
Nigeria.
However, the subject of
genocide should have become a
main issue for the United
Nations. Individual countries are
making night flights into the
heart of Biafra where supplies
are being dropped.
The F'rench are giving aid by
supplying arms and defence
weapons for Biafran use.
Organizations such as Red Cross
are doing their best to help. But
all this is not enough.
The Biafrans are
outnumbered two to one and
Nigeria with support of British
aid has superior weapons and
resources. Local food produce in
Biafra has already been
consumed. Help is desperately
needed.
How can we, the citizens of
Canada do our full share to
prevent an even greater tragedy?
Mr. Gingerich has suggested
writing to our members of
parliament and showing our
concern. This issue needs your
consideration. You could help to
save millions of lives.
POLL TAKEN ON THIS ISSUE
Clarence Ayotte 13A: Let
them starve! We've got people
starving in Canada. We should
look to our homeland first.
Dianne Mason 13B: Biafra
represents a tragic loss of human
life. It doesn't matter where
they live, they're starving and
need help.
Mr. Wooden (Principal): It is
hard for anyone to do much
about a civil war. I suspect
Canada has done all it can do.
Food supplies are not reaching
the interior anyway.
