Nigerian Civil War: Nigerian Government

The Nigerian Civil War is a historical committee and was characterized by ethnic and political tensions between the Nigerian government and the ‘breakaway region’ of Biafra. This committee will explore diplomatic, military, and humanitarian strategies for reconciliation. 

Approximate committee size: 15 single delegations

Note: This committee addresses complex topics that require significant historical understanding. Participation in these committees should be reserved for only those with prior Model UN experience. All delegates are advised to read the letter from the Undersecretary-General for Crisis Simulations linked above before beginning research for the committee.
