The Republic of Biafra was a state that declared its independence from Nigeria in 1967 under the leadership of the Igbo ethnic group. The state comprised the south-eastern part of Nigeria, including large oil reserves in the Niger Delta, and was recognised by four African states and Haiti. In the course of the Biafra War from 1967 to 1970, Biafra was reintegrated into Nigeria. The famine blockade imposed at that time shaped the image of the Biafra child as a symbol of malnutrition.
