Nigeria was plunged into civil war in 1967, when the eastern region declared its independence as the Republic of Biafra. The fighting was intense and there were allegations of civilians being ill treated. Canada cooperated with Britain to create a mission to monitor the Nigerian Armed Forces to see whether they were obeying their own code of conduct, and to investigate charges that Nigerian soldiers were guilty of genocide. Other observers came from Poland, Sweden, and the Organization of African Unity. 3, record 2, English, - Observer%20Team%20in%20Nigeria

Le Nigéria était plongé dans la guerre civile, en 1967, lorsque la région orientale a déclaré son indépendance sous le nom de République du Biafra. Les combats étaient intenses et certains alléguaient que des civils étaient victimes de mauvais traitements. Le Canada a collaboré avec la Grande-Bretagne pour mettre sur pied une mission chargée de surveiller les forces armées nigériennes, pour vérifier si elles respectaient leur propre code de conduite et pour enquêter sur les allégations voulant que des soldats nigériens se soient livrés à un génocide. D'autres observateurs sont venus de Pologne, de Suède et de l'Organisation de l'unité africaine. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%89quipe%20d%27observateurs%20au%20Nig%C3%A9ria
