La Guerra Civil de Nigeria, comúnmente conocida como la Guerra de Biafra, fue el conflicto armado político-étnico causado por el intento de secesión de las provincias del sudeste de Nigeria bajo el nombre de República de Biafra. Biafra fue el resultado de las aspiraciones nacionalistas del pueblo igbo, quienes sentían que ya no podían coexistir con el estado nigeriano, influenciado principalmente por los pueblos norteños. El conflicto y la lucha por la secesión de Biafra, liderada por el coronel Odumegwu Ojukwu, fue producto de tensiones políticas, económicas, étnicas, culturales y religiosas que precedieron a la descolonización británica entre 1960 y 1963. Las causas inmediatas de la guerra tuvieron lugar un año antes, incluyendo un golpe de Estado, un contragolpe y un pogromo contra los igbos del norte del país. La lucha por el control del petróleo en el delta del Niger desempeña un papel fundamental para entender esta guerra.

Fall of Enugu
The fall of Enugu was a military conflict between Nigerian and Biafran forces in September and October 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War which centered around Enugu, the capital of the secessionist Republic of Biafra. Nigerian federal forces had made Enugu's capture a priority shortly after war broke out, but their advance stalled at Nsukka. Biafran president and leader Odumegwu Ojukwu, attempted to distract the Nigerian Army by initiating an invasion of Nigeria's Mid-Western Region in August, but the offensive was brought to a halt. Lieutenant Colonel Theophilus Danjuma took charge of the Nigerian forces at the Nsukka front and prepared to advance on Enugu with seven battalions of the 1st Division. Enugu was garrisoned by one brigade led by Colonel Alexander Madiebo and poorly armed civilians called into service. Danjuma decided to launch an offensive with his forces spread over a broad front to make it more difficult for the Biafrans to block them along major roads as had happened up to that point.
