“Almost 30 years before Rwanda, before Darfur, more than 2 million people - mothers, children, babies, civilians - lost their lives as a result of the blatantly callous and unnecessary policies enacted by the leaders of the federal government of Nigeria. It's this charge that's dominated the book's Nigerian press, so far as I can see, the accusation, on the one hand, that Awolowo hatched "a diabolical policy to reduce the numbers of his enemies significantly through starvation - eliminating over two million people, mainly members of future generations.” PeopleYearsChildrenI CanTwoBookHandsGovernmentMotherLostResultsNumbersLeaderEnemyMillionsGenerationsPolicyBabyMembersPressesUnnecessaryFederal GovernmentFuture GenerationCiviliansStarvationNigeriaAccusationEliminatingRwandaDiabolicalCallousMother ChildDarfur Author:Chinua Achebe
