SNN Biafra News Update | Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader Meets with the legendary Israeli Flying Aid (IFA) in Tel- Aviv, Israel.
November 5th, 2018
Israeli Flying Aid (IFA) is a non-profit, volunteer-based, non-governmental organization (NGO) that delivers life-saving aid to communities affected by natural disaster and human conflict, transcending differences, prejudices, race, nationality, religion, and creed.
IFA team members represent the pulsating heart of Israel and believe in the dignity and sanctity of human life.
“Nobody asks permission to kill. We don't ask permission to save lives.”- IFA motto. IFA operate in places where local regimes prevent entry from formal international humanitarian organizations and focus on countries that lack diplomatic relations with Israel.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra met with IFA in Tel- Aviv, Israel.
"My meeting with the legendary Israeli Flying Aid went well yesterday in Tel Aviv. Received by Maya the COO. Biafrans look forward to working with more Israeli agencies like

The cause of justice and aiding those in distress is noble. Elohim bless Israel and Biafra!"
Israel and Jews were instrumental to the many airlifts that saved Biafrans during Nigerian/ Biafra war. During the genocide of Biafrans from 1967-1970 by the Federal Military Government of Nigeria through starvation achieved by the blockade imposed on Biafra territory, approximately 30 non-governmental organizations (NGO)s and several governments provided non-military direct and indirect aid through or in support of the Biafran Airlift. Among these NGO's is the American Jewish Emergency Effort for Biafran Relief and also the International Red Cross. The Jews flew through bombardments from Nigeria military to deliver foods to starving Biafrans especially to save Biafran children.
By 1968, a year after the start of the Nigerian Civil War, large numbers of children were reportedly starving to death due to a blockade imposed by the Federal Military Government (FMG) and military. By 1969 it was reported that over 1,000 Biafran children per day were starving to death. A FMG representative declared, "Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it."
In 1968, thanks to the relatively recent invention of broadcast television, the world was horrified by images of young Biafran children starving en masse during the Nigerian civil war. The international call to action was overwhelming. U.S. President Lyndon Johnson told the State Department, “Get those…babies off my TV set.” As the largest non-combatant airlift in history, the Biafran operation is estimated to have saved over one million lives. What most of the world does not know is that Israeli pilots and ground crews played a critical role in this historic airlift.
Prevented by the Nigerian army from officially providing aid, the International Red Cross began a covert mission to save the people of Biafra called Operation Relief Action Nigeria. Shortly thereafter, the Red Cross realized that their DC-6 and DC-7 airplanes did not have the capacity to deliver the necessary amount of food and medicine. The Red Cross unofficially obtained five Boeing C-97s from the U.S., the largest plane in the United States Air Force.
With the exception of the U.S., Israel was the only country with the pilots, ground crews, and experience to fly and land the giant C-97 Stratofreighters. In 1968, Israeli pilot Arnon Barak was summoned to his manager’s office at Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI). There he was told, “There is a massive genocide in Biafra. We were called up by Balair, the Swiss airline that asked IAI to help their maintenance crew to take over the ‘big monster,’ the C-97 Stratofreighter. The Red Cross is supplying food and medicine to the besieged people in Biafra.”
In February 1969, IAI crews began preparing planes for the operation, with flights beginning in March. According to Barak, the first Biafra-bound cargo flight to Africa was considered “a key flight to decide ‘go-no go’ for the whole fleet of C-97 aircraft. Unfortunately, engine failure occurred during flight and the aircraft was forced to land in the Sahara Desert at Niamey airport in Niger, Africa. A second aircraft was flown with a spare engine to rescue the first aircraft and we were the four technicians on board. It was the most horrendous time I can remember. A few of us contracted malaria and the work was done only at night due to the hot weather.” The crew did not give up and the first flight eventually succeeded.
Only one dirt road in Biafra was long enough to handle the C-97s. It was in a town called Uli, and the makeshift runway was codenamed “Airstrip Annabelle.” The Nigerian army had smart weapons, tanks, and Mig 29s and Israeli pilots had to fly and land the C-97s at night under enemy fire.
Each flight brought 16 tons of food, with the international airlift effort turning Uli into the second busiest airport in Africa after Johannesburg. Historian Mark Curtis reported that an average of 250 metric tons of food was delivered each night to the estimated 1.5 to 2 million people that depended on relief supplies.
Remembering the participants that made the Biafran airlift a success, Barak commented, “All of us can be proud of what we did for the starving people of Biafra, bringing [food and medical supplies] night after night under ugly circumstances.”
Do not forget in a haste that Brigadier General Benjamin Adekunle is responsible for the death of over 100,000 igbos in a genocide that claimed the lives of over 5 million Biafrans. He was interviewed then by a STERN reporter. STERN: What will your troops do when you get to the Igbo heartland, that is, to the place populated by Igbos only?
ADEKUNLE replied: There we will aim at everything even if it is not moving.
Israel and Jews intervention during the Biafran genocide of 1967-1970 to save over 1million Biafrans from starvation, and recently now in giving hospitality and protection to the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra justifies the below statement:
"Biafrans look forward to working with more Israeli agencies like Israel Flying Aid Biafra."
