Welcome to MJVAFRICA network...... mjventertainment.blogspot.com............Fighting For BIAFRA: See The Belgian Soldier That Died During The BIAFRA War! opera.com During the Biafra-Nigeria War, many lives we're lost including prominent men and people that were not Biafran. A famous name in the ears of the Biafran is Marc Goossens. In 1964 he went to the Congo as Belgian's Chief Adviser with the rank of Colonel assisting the ANC. In 1968 he went and fought in Biafra under the french mercenary leader Robert Faulques, with the rank of major and was killed during a Nigeria attack in Onitsha in 29 November, 1968. His death took place when Biafran army attempted to retake the city of Onitsha. Today being 30th of May and marked the "Biafran day; a day when fallen heroes and legends that died for the name BIAFRA are remembered," I urge many Igbos not to forget the fallen hero who has no trace of Igbo but yet fought for the Igbos all in the quest for BIAFRA. Just as Marc Goossens is a pleasing name to many Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), he will be pleased to be remembered in wherever he is. Your opinion is highly appreciated and valued!

Welcome to MJV..... mjventertainment.blogspot.com............Arab traders brought Islam to East Africa soon after the success of the religion in Arabia. Islam did not, however, at first penertate beyond coastal trading settlements. The Sudan and Somaliland did gradually become both Arabized and Islamized, primarily through the influence of Arab traders. At a much slower pace Islam entered West Africa. Here rather than maritime tradersas in East Africa, it was Arab merchants traveling with camel caravans that crossed the Sahara. Muslim sultanates were established in Mali and Timbuctu in the West and Harar in the East. These trading centers also became important centers of Islamic leaming. The Arabs were the first to enter the African slave trade. Arab traders gradually established trading posts along the African Indian Ocean ports. Slaves could be sold to the Arab traders operating from Indian Ocean ports. As the powers of the Arabs increased they began actual raids on villages to seize blacks that could be sold in Middle Eastern slave markets.
