On the 25th anniversary of the end of the 1967-70 Biafran war, Timewatch examines the doomed struggle of the Ibos, known as "the Jews of Africa", to secede from Nigeria. It was a war which touched the world as no other African war has done.
In 1960, Britain had left Nigeria, the jewel of its African colonies. Barely seven years later the country was tearing itself apart. Biafra never had the weapons to win a military war against heavily-armed Nigeria, but it moved the conflict to another battlefield - with the help of a single telex link to the outside world. Routed through a Geneva-based PR company, it won the war in the airwaves and the print media.
Despite predictions that the war would be over in days or weeks, Biafra fought on, despite famine, for three years. Its wartime leader, Colonel Ojukwu, says: "We were under total blockade, whatever we had we produced ourselves. Biafran people showed they were heroes."
This is a story of political manoeuvres and surprising propaganda victories.
Novelist Frederick Forsyth, who lived in Biafra to cover the war, British High
Commissioner Sir David Hunt and other witnesses to the tragedy add their personal recollections.

A Fine Cut special, this documentary by Barbet Schroeder was made with the dictator Idi Amin's full co-operation when he was at the height of his murderous powers in the seventies. It shows the then Ugandan president making his troops practise an invasion of Israel, and letting the camera into a cabinet meeting after which one of his ministers was murdered. Amin also defends Hitler, saying he was right to have killed six million Jews.
This film portrait offers an insight into one of the most savage tyrannies of our time. See today's choices.
