After Robert Kennedy's murder, the Associated Press counted 199 Americans killed by gunfire in only seven days. The toll of citizen slaughter apparently rose even higher last week...
Ojukwu has also said no to a British offer of $600,000 in relief funds. His reason: Britain sells arms to Gowon. Therefore, says Ojukwu, to give food at the same time would only "fatten the Biafrans for slaughter with British-made weapons."

With vivid memories of the slaughter of Arabs on the nearby island of Zanzibar in 1962, they feared future instances of African racism and xenophobia. Also, it was clear that the sluggish economy could not create enough jobs for both Black and Brown. Asians planned to stay in Kenya as long as their jobs or business...
