The brutal civil war led to the death of over one million ethnic Igbos and other Easterners, according to Chima J. Korieh, a professor of African History at United States Marquette University.
Vita hivyo vibaya vilisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu milioni wa kabila la Igbo na wakazi wengine wa ukanda wa Mashariki, kwa mujibu wa Chima J. Korieh, profesa wa Historia ya Afrika kwenye Chuo Kikuu cha Marquette nchini Marekani.
