EU Calls For Biafran independence And Urge Community To Treat It According To International Law.

Chief Federica Mogherin, the  European Union foreign affairs has assured the Pro-Biafran agitators that every self-determined call must be achieved in accordance with established international law. Thousands of people from the highly marginalized part of the south- east state have taken to the street calling for the actualization of the dream state called the United State Of  Biafra.
    Protesters also want the release of pro-Biafran activist Nnamdi Kanu, who has been detained by Nigerian authorities since october 19 2015. President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected calls for Kanu release saying authorities are worried that the U.K.-based activist would jump bail.

 Mogherini addressed the issue in a written response to a letter from Jonathan Levy, the chief administrative officer of the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS), a U.S.-based body campaigning for an independence referendum on Biafra. In the letter, which was sent to Levy and seen by Debo9ja, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security said that the EU has a “longstanding multifaceted relationship with Nigeria” and follows political developments in the West African nation closely. She added that “protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms remains a priority for the EU.”

The letter reads thus:
