dc.descriptionIssue 2716 of West Africa Magazine (June 21, 1969) mixes war pragmatism, governance gripes, and livestock talks. Published in London/distributed in Apapa, it hails relief corridors for Biafra, dissects Ghana’s local govt chaos, and salutes Chad’s Tombalbaye’s nerve. Plus: livestock potentials, a bishop bows out, and UNCTAD gets trashed. Key stories: “Making relief work” welcomes Biafra aid breakthrough; “Ghana: local govt” laments dysfunction; “Seven more years” profiles Tombalbaye’s g nerve. Elsewhere: Ahmadu Bello U hosts livestock conf (cows, goats, pigs), Archbishop Patterson bows out after decades; Commercial news blasts UNCTAD as useless. Dateline Africa: Senegal unions split post-strike; Ghana’s local chaos persists. A wonky, vital issue – survival & livestock.
