Chinue Achebe's There was a country; A personal History of Biafra is a testament to the grave atrocities and inhuman experience Igbos faced during the Nigerian Civil War. it tells the story of an African country established by one tribe subjected to death by the envious and jealous cousin tribes that inhabit the country of Nigeria. it tells the story of an African country that No longer exists, a country that gave freedom and sense of belonging to millions of people whose country have denied them their fundamental human rights as, their rights as citizens, as Nigerians. This is a story of people hated, despised, segregated, discriminated, genocided, expelled, disowned and nearly exterminated by their own country, the Igbos went through hell, they died while the world was silent.
