  • The insurgency in Southeastern Nigeria (initially known as the Orlu Crisis) is a military conflict that broke out in the city of Orlu, Imo State, Nigeria on 22 January 2021, when the Nigerian Army moved to crush the paramilitary wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Eastern Security Network (ESN). The conflict escalated after the ESN managed to repulse the initial push by the Nigerian Army, but IPOB ended the initial crisis by unilaterally withdrawing the ESN from Orlu. After a few weeks of quiet, Nigeria launched a military offensive in the area to destroy the ESN. On 19 February 2021, IPOB declared that as of the day before, a state of war existed between Nigeria and Biafra. Three weeks later, another separatist group declared the formation of a Biafran interim government which was subsequently endorsed by IPOB. Since then, the Biafran separatists have begun to form alliances with other separatist groups in Nigeria and Cameroon. Despite these developments, the separatists claimed that their militant operations were mainly aimed at defending local communities from armed herders and bandits instead of fighting the Nigerian government. In late June, IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu was arrested by Interpol and handed over to Nigerian authorities. (en)
  • A insurgência no Leste da Nigéria (inicialmente conhecida como Crise de Orlu) é um conflito militar que eclodiu na cidade de Orlu, na Nigéria, quando o avançou para esmagar a ala paramilitar do Povo Indígena de Biafra (em inglês: Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB), a (em inglês: Eastern Security Network, ESN). O conflito intensificou-se depois que a Rede de Segurança Oriental conseguiu repelir o avanço inicial do exército nigeriano, mas o Povo Indígena de Biafra encerrou a crise inicial retirando unilateralmente a Rede de Segurança Oriental de Orlu. Após algumas semanas de tranquilidade, a Nigéria lançou uma ofensiva militar na área para destruir a Rede de Segurança Oriental. Em 19 de fevereiro, o Povo Indígena de Biafra declarou que, desde o dia anterior, existia um estado de guerra entre a Nigéria e Biafra. Três semanas depois, outro grupo separatista declarou a formação de um governo interino biafrense, que foi posteriormente endossado pelo Povo Indígena de Biafra. (pt)
