metadata.value: The Nigerian civil war broke out on July 6, 1967, it was a war fought between the government
  of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Both parties engaged in propaganda
  activities designed to win the support of the outside world, consequently leading to the
  internationalization of the conflict. The focus of this study is to historically analyze the nature
  and dimension of the involvement of African states during the Nigerian civil war, and
  the consequences in Nigerian foreign relationships after the conflict. To achieve these goals
  and to understand official foreign reaction by other African states to the conflict in Nigeria,
  the study firstly explores the federal government’s role in international affairs with these
  countries prior to Biafran secession. Furthermore, this work analyzes the role played by the
  Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its position in the conflict management. Then,
  the paper observes the way in which Nigerian Government tried to advice and convince
  other African States that if secession succeeded in Nigeria, these African States could also
  face the same threat of disintegration. In addition to that, this work wants to put in light
  other socio-political and economic reasons that led some African countries to be involved
  into the civil war, backing for one or another side. Concluding, this paper focus its attention
  on the consequences that such involvements had on the duration of the war and, lastly, on
  future intrastate relations.
