Austrian Analyst Urges Trump, EU to Recognize and Support Biafra Independence
Story: written by Zara November 3,2025
An Austrian economist and pro-NATO advocate, Gunther Fehlinger, has appealed to former U.S. President Donald Trump and the European Union (EU) to take decisive steps toward recognizing and supporting the independence of the proposed Biafra Republic.
Fehlinger made the call on Monday through posts on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he described Nigeria as a “failed state” and accused the international community of abandoning Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War between 1967 and 1970.
In his post, he wrote:
“I call on the EU to recognize the Biafra Republic emerging from the failed #ExNigeria. The free world failed Biafra between 1967 and 1970 during their liberation struggle — to our eternal shame. We must correct that failure and endorse the Biafra Republic now, @POTUS.”
Fehlinger, who is known for his strong pro-Western and NATO-aligned views, also urged the United States government to actively intervene. In a separate post on Sunday, he called on “America to liberate Biafra Republic,” tagging Biafran groups and representatives.
His statement comes at a time of renewed international attention on Nigeria following global discussions about alleged persecution of Christians and rising insecurity in the country.Promote Your Brand on SpringNewsNG Nigeria!
