The term "Biafran" refers to anything related to the region of Biafra, which is located in southeastern Nigeria. The area is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse ethnic groups, primarily the Igbo people. Biafra gained international attention during the Nigerian Civil War from 1967 to 1970 when it attempted to secede from Nigeria, leading to a humanitarian crisis. The Biafran movement continues to influence discussions about self-determination and regional autonomy in Nigeria. Many Biafrans advocate for the recognition of their identity and rights, often expressing their sentiments through peaceful protests and cultural events.
