Tensions have escalated in Nigeria following the release of a new Biafra map by the Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government in Exile.

This comes just hours after Ekpa’s group sent a formal letter to Finnish President Alexander Stubb, urging Finland to support the Biafra Independence Declaration as a path to peace in Nigeria and the wider Sahel region.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Ekpa confirmed that the letter, submitted on Monday, outlined the rationale for Biafra’s secession, emphasizing that its restoration would bring stability to the region.

According to Ekpa, the letter also informed President Stubb about the goals of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, which includes holding an internationally recognized referendum for Biafra’s independence by the end of November 2024.

The letter stressed that Biafra was previously recognized by five United Nations member states, setting it apart from other secessionist movements on the continent.

Ekpa’s statements and the unveiling of the new Biafra map have sparked concerns in Nigeria, where the Biafra issue remains a sensitive and divisive topic.
