1966年反伊博人大屠殺
1966年反伊博人大屠殺是指從1966年5月開始,許多住在尼日利亞北部的伊博族和其他南尼日利亞人遭到當地人屠殺。1966年9月29日之後,屠殺達到高潮。[1]據估計,當年共有8,000至30,000名伊博族和其他族群人士被殺害。另外有100萬伊博人從尼日利亞北部逃到尼日利亞東部。為了報復,一些住在哈科特港和其他尼日利亞東部城市的北尼日利亞人遭到屠殺。[2] 一系列的屠殺導致尼日利亞東部地區宣佈獨立並成立比亞法拉共和國,最終引發尼日利亞內戰。

The estimated number of deaths ranged as high as 30,000. More than 1 million Igbo returned to the Eastern Region. In retaliation, some northerners were massacred in Port Harcourt and other eastern cities, and a counterexodus of non-Igbo was under way.
