Sir: The Nigeria-Biafra war enters its bloodiest phase with the
prospect of two million people dying from arms and starvation by the end of the year. Even if the war officially ended tomorrow, guerrilla action could prolong the agony interminably. Criticisms can be made of the policies and actions of both sides, but we believe one thing to be beyond dispute : the wrongness of the. British government's supply of vital arms to the Federal forces. This is deliberate tactical support, under the guise of 'restraining
influence.' -
We would like to hear from as many people as possible within the next few weeks, who would be ready to adopt urgent measures to stop this arms supply, to ensure that the Federal government halts its advance into the Jbo heartland, and to urge a cease-fire.
We envisage such action including non- violent direct action against the arms supplies if appropriate. If there is sufficient response to this emergency appeal, we shall arrange to meet with those replying in the very near future. Barbara Higgins Roger Moody 5 Caledonian Road, London Ni
