Birland - No Man's Land Awaits Recognition By World

  By: Dr. Binish Thomas-India Birland Secretary of State for International Diplomacy and Relations About 3,000 people live and die unrecognized in a desert land bordering Sudan and Egypt.

This change was to remind all Nigerians of one free election after which the presumed winner along with Nigerians were denied their rights and their choice. On June 12th, 1993, Nigerians saw the best in their citizens as they all went out to vote peacefully. By June 24th, 1993, they also saw the worst of their leadership as the elections were annulled. An international Activist, Nigerian Youth Ambassador to the United States, and Secretary General Nigerian Youth Congress, Dr. Raymond Edoh has expressed delight toward the faith Nigerians has over the years built and sustained toward hav
