  • This house believes that Abiy Ahmed should allow Tigray to secede from Ethiopia and form an independent state

    Infoslide

    The people of Tigray, the northernmost region of Ethiopia, comprise 6 percent of the country’s 110 million people yet have enjoyed disproportionately large power and influence for nearly three decades. In November, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of the Prosperity Party ordered a violent military offensive after he accused the regional ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), of attacking a government military base. This follows a long-simmering feud between the federal government and the TPLF, and came at a turbulent time with Ahmed trying to steer the country from ethnic federalism to a unified nation. Ahmed has declared emergency rule in the Tigray region which is occupied by state forces and now facing a humanitarian crisis.

  • In rise of the recent fringe group formations this house believes that Igbo states should be given complete independence

    Infoslide

    The Biafra war was a Nigerian Civil war in which the Majority tribes (Hausa and Yoruba) fought the resistance group Biafra (The Igbo tribe) after they declared independence from Nigeria. The war ended in 1970 with the win of the majority tribes after millions of people perished. Nigeria as a whole still largely remains divided due to arbitrary border lines, post colonial unrest, language barriers, religious differences and ethnic division. The Hausa and Yoruba tribe are the main majority tribes in Nigera, live in the most developed areas and were the groups who benefited most from the war and hold powerful positions in politics. Those in Igbo states complain there has been a lack of development, have growing hostillity towards the majority tribes and are forming fringe groups in opposition to the government. Nigerian Politics is already strained by Terrorist groups and general political and economic unrest
