** FILE ** Biafran refugees flee federal Nigerian troops on a road near Ogbaku, Nigeria in this Aug. 5, 1968 file photo. Between 1 and 3 million people are estimated to have died, mostly through starvation, during the first, failed attempt by the main Igbo ethnic group of the region to create an independent Biafra Republic between 1967-1970. The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, which since 1999 has been trying to revive the campaign for independence, has struck chords among many Igbo _ but most of them are too young to have witnessed the horrors of the war.
