Phillips, Barnaby. "Biafra: Thirty years on ". BBC. 2/12/09 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/596712.stm.

The article I read was mainly about after the war. first it goes over a short review on the war and genocide, then updates on statuses today. The former leader of Biafra, Cheif Emeka Ojukwu was forgiven by the nigerian government, while most veterans on the side of Biafra are now homeless and "line[d] up in their wheelchairs alongside the main roads in Enugu, begging for money from passers-by."
Right now the government says it is desperate to avoid repitition of the events that led up to the war.
