On August 17, 1968 (Lunar calendar July 24), the civil war in Nigeria caused a famine disaster.

The pressure of the civil war forced Nigeria to refuse the Red Cross to fly food to the famine-tortured Bifla

On August 17, 1968, 1,000 people gathered in front of the United Building, imploring member states to deliver food for the children who were starving in Beirut; whilely fighting Nigeria and Beirut were negotiating peace in Addis Ababa, no progress was made.

Finally, Nigeria¡¯s proposed conditions seemed to be more conciliatory than before, but they demanded that the armies of Beirut disarm and deny the Beirut Declaration of Independence issued in May 1967. Beirut was originally a region in eastern Nigeria. Beirut¡¯s representatives insisted that only self-government in Beirut would make the people of Beirut no longer suffering the mass killings of the Nigerians; and it was these holocausts that led Beirut to declare independence from Nigeria.

In 1969, Nigeria¡¯s civil war, which lasted 18 months since its departure from the Confederation, finally entered its final stage. The country had been surrounded by about 250,000 Nigerian federal troops, but it still has about 8 million inhabitants on its territory, one-third of whom were refugees. Many of these homeless refugees died tragically of hunger in dirty, dirty tents, and by the middle of the year, about thousands died of hunger every day.

However, large-scale international rescue operations delivered 40 rescue supplies to the country every day. On January 11, in New York, thousands of citizens donated food to the hungry Biarritz people. Cartons and packages filled with soybeans, rice and canned meat stood on the stairs of St. Patrick's Cathedral. 5,000 people, including Mrs. Nixon, took part in the donation ceremony.

Mrs. Nixon¡¯s presence at the ceremony was a ¡°humanitarian expression¡± and did not indicate the attitude of elected President Nixon toward the Nigerian-Bifla dispute. While people around the world sympathized with the disaster suffered by the people of Bifla, the situation soon became very clear¡ªtheir leader, the army of Oudomiga-Oukawa, was unable to resist an opponent with an absolute advantage.

The Beavers struggle on the line of death without food, no shelter, and it is harder to resist the invasion of disease.The refugee is swallowing and eating rotten food picked up on the street.

Hungry children and mothers, in this country of eight million inhabitants, because of the civil war, one-third are refugees, many of whom are starving in dirty temporary dwellings.

Nigerian politicians are fighting and the civil war is delaying, and the international community is launching a worldwide relief operation to save the people who are starving in Beirut.
