Abstract:After 50 years since the inception of Nigeria's civil war, how successful have been efforts to promote reconciliation? This article first considers the claims made by both sides about the war's nature. In the Nigerian setting, necessary measures for conflict resolution extended well beyond the amnesties and reconstruction provisions available in the war's aftermath. In a democratic Nigeria neo-Biafran revival raises questions about the efficacy of official policies of re-integration. The reimagining of Biafra also highlights failure to shape a consensual public memory of the conflict.
