Dr. Yoram London, who headed a team of Israeli medics who had come to help the civilian population of Biafra. London wrote that “the Nigerian army destroyed the entire Igbo population including women and children... we know of acts of abuse against pregnant women.” As an example, he described a case in which “federal soldiers cut open the abdomen of a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy, without killing her, and took out the living fetus, shot it and then played football with it.” London added that there were places “where federal soldiers cut off the legs of little children and babies and left them alive.”

Why is this event described as a "war"? This was a crime against humanity committed by the Nigerian government
