Answer:

  • Nigeria

Step-by-step explanation:

In May 1967, an Igbo colonel pronounced that the Igbo district was to withdraw from Nigeria and so as to establish the State of Biafra.

Just few governments around the globe recognized Biafra: Zambia, the Ivory Coast, Haiti, Gabon, and Tanzania. South Africa, Rhodesia, France, and Israel furnished Biafra with military help. The initiative of the Muslims in the north and the Yoruba in the south wouldn't acknowledge Biafra's freedom and sent militaries to attack the new nation.

The correct answer is Nigeria. In May 1967 it was decided to divide the country in 12 states which radically changed the configurations of the federal structure and the majority-minority relations. The most important change for minorities is that it was liberated many of their communities from the regional power for the majority groups and damaged local ethnic minority support for the secessionist offer of the eastern regions.
