Why this matters

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), are proscribed groups advocating for an independent Biafran state, and their activities have led to significant insecurity in Nigeria's Southeast. Military operations against these groups are part of ongoing efforts to restore peace and order in the region.
