A group of demonstrators came together to call for Biafran independence from Nigeria and to remember the victims of the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War. The war lasted 2 and a half years and an estimated 500,000 to 2,000,000 Biafrans were starved to death during this time. Despite the conflict ending more than 50 years ago, the demonstrators held candles, danced and chanted with huge passion, perhaps ignited by the current political climate in Nigeria.
