We are also happy to release a new issue of
Fourth

world, our informants inside now reveal painful escalations of
violence perpetrated against Biafran citizens (Igbo, Ogoni,
Ija and others) by security forces, police and army personnel
under the control of the Nigerian government and some major
corporations. Read Fourth World Eye for penetrating and
immediate commentary on events involving Fourth World nations. |
