This video is for documentary and educational purposes. No images and footage shown are intended to shock the viewer. Everything is shown in context and censored as much as possible without sacrificing the need for telling a compelling story with the actual footage.

This is the last of four videos about Nigerian history leading to the Nigerian Civil war. In this video, we take a look at the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran war. It is regarded as one of the toughest and bloodiest wars in Africa, leading to the deaths of more than two million people (mainly children).
