An Austrian economist and pro-NATO advocate, Gunther Fehlinger, has urged the United States and the European Union to support the liberation of the Biafra Republic. In a recent post on his official X handle, Fehlinger described Nigeria as a failed nation, citing the international community’s failure to support the secessionist group during their liberation war from 1967 to 1970.

Fehlinger called on the European Union to recognize the Biafra Republic, stating that the world’s inaction during the conflict was a source of eternal shame. He also directed a message to the President of the United States, urging the country to endorse the Biafra Republic. In a separate post, Fehlinger appealed to the United States to liberate the Biafra Republic, addressing his message to the Biafra Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The economist’s comments come amid allegations of genocide against Christians in Nigeria. The Biafra Republic’s quest for independence has been a longstanding issue, with the region’s history marked by conflict and human rights concerns. Fehlinger’s advocacy for international support highlights the ongoing debate about the region’s future and the role of global powers in addressing the situation.

The international community’s response to the Biafra conflict has been a subject of discussion, with some arguing that more could have been done to prevent the humanitarian crisis that occurred during the war. Fehlinger’s call for recognition and support from the European Union and the United States reflects the ongoing efforts to address the legacy of the conflict and the current challenges faced by the region.

As the situation in Nigeria continues to unfold, the international community is being urged to take a closer look at the allegations of genocide and the ongoing struggles of the Biafra Republic. The economist’s appeal for support highlights the need for a concerted effort to address the human rights concerns and promote a peaceful resolution to the conflict. With the European Union and the United States being called upon to play a more active role, the situation in the Biafra Republic is likely to remain a topic of international debate and discussion.
