GSM Visits Heroes
The notion that over 30 million Biafran people mainly Igbos, would continue as a significant ethnic group in the West African Sub-Saharan Region without stretching out hands of friendship to people or nations that have to come to our aid in the time of need can no longer be sustainable.
The world we are living now is changing, we are no longer in the era of communists or the capitalists, but in a global world influenced by various economic and religious interests which its overall motive is political and economic power. Nations have developed their allies to pursue their interests and nations that are not organised, nor have strategic focus on how to establish what is the collective interests of their people get left behind.
This is the rationale behind why the GSM consider it necessary to continue visiting the remaining heroes before it is too late. You can support these visits which involve travelling to various parts of the world to express the gratitude of the Biafran people to individuals who gave so much so that we can live freely today.
One such visit has been reported by Rachel Fletcher, The Jewish Chronicle, London. thejc.com
Forty years ago our men, women and children were subjected to starvation, unparalleled in Sub-Saharan Africa which resulted in the deaths of millions of people. Individuals and nations went out of their way to come to the aid of millions of people facing annhilation. Some of these individuals paid the ultimate price by giving their life to save the lives of our people. It cannot be said without mentioning people like; Mr and Mrs Augie Martins and many others, who died at Uli in their desperate drive to supply food to dying people.
The sad story is that many men and women who sacrificed their time and money and risked their lives for our people, no-one has shown care in the public domain until now. Sadly, most of these wonderful people who helped our people in our hour of desperate need are in their late 70's or 80's and many have since died. The question everyone should ask is:
Who will come for our people when we call in desperate need again?
