VIENNA - The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Vienna, Austria has announced its readiness to stage the fifth edition of Biafra Genocide Exhibition (BGE) in the country.
In a circular issued by Vienna’s Zonal Coordinator, Engr. Umeh Chijioke Michael, the exhibition is billed to last from 5th to 6th October, 2018, with the purpose of drawing the attention of the international community to the sordid plight of Biafrans in Nigeria.
IPOB Austria which boasts of an existing cordial relationship with the government and security forces of their host country, invited Biafrans, heads of organizations, including members of the press from different parts of the world to participate in the event even as it noted that the opportunity will also serve as an avenue to rub minds together on the way forward for the Biafra restoration project.
Part of the statement reads: “The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Austria are inviting all men and women of good conscience to our Biafra Genocide Exhibition in Vienna Austria.
“Members and leaders of human rights and international organizations, journalists has indicated interest to be present in this exhibition. Our war veterans are not left out.

It gave out its contact numbers as: 004369912717100 or 0043676707643 and an email address as: [email protected], for further enquiries.
It should be recalled that BGE was first activated in Spain on March 10-12, 2017 which was solely aimed at showcasing inhumane treatment meted to Biafra agitators by the federal government and its security agencies.
The intention of the Biafrans was to also use the exhibition to expose to the world the atrocities that the Nigerian government – and its wicked and unkind population – unleashed on the Biafran people under the guise of a genocidal war (urged on by the British government) from 1967 – 1970.
The Biafrans also wanted the world to know about the current genocide being perpetrated against them currently since Buhari took the reins of power in Nigeria.
