United Kindom The United Kingdom has supported the FbE in its efforts to preserve a sinple Nigeria. I4dle Nigeria was a British colony anc' protectorate, the Lhited Kin~dm trained and equipped the Ni
airlift operations into Biafh. U. S. voluntary agencies have also made large contributions and have played an important role in sustainiry: the air bridge from Sao T m to Biafra. CXI February 22, 1969, in announcing the apnointmnt of Ambassador Ferguson as Special Coordinator for relief to the civilian victims of the Nigerian ciyfl war, President Nixon issued a statement saying in part: "The efforts of outside governments to expand re lief are greatly complicated by the political and militq issues that divide the contestants. Unfortunately, the hwnanitarian urge to feed the starving has become enmeshed in those issues and stands in danger of interpretation by the parties as a fom of intervention. But surely it is within the conscience and ability of man to give effect to his humanitarianism without involving himself in the politics of the dispute. "It is in this spirit that U. S. policy tYiZZ drm a sharp distinction between carrying out our moral obligations to respond effectively to humanitarian needs and involving ourselves in the political affairs of others. The U. S. will not shrink from this humanitarian challenge but, in cooperation with those of like mind, will seek to meet it." The President said the Coordinator would give particular attention to ways and mans by which the flow of relief could be increased to the suffering on both sides of the battle lines. He added: "The Special Coordinator will not seek and will not accept a chawe to negotiate issues other than those direct23 relevant to relief. Neverthe less, the U. S. earnestly hopes fop an early negotiated end to the conf Zict and a sett Zement that will assure the protection and peaceful development of all the peoples involved. " In April, Mqv and June Ambassador Ferausonls efforts to augment the flow of relief took him to Laqos, Biafra, Addis Ababa, Geneva, London, the Hague and Copenhwn. He has been working closely with the parties to the conflict, with the OAU, the ICRC and other relief agencies, and other donor governments, seeking agreement upon proposals for mutually acceptable relief routes. RELIEF WORKERS KILLED AS OF JUNE 30, 1969 'I'here follows the dates and circumstances of the people rho were killed while bringing food and medicines to or performing servlces for the civilian victims of the Nigeria civil war. July 29, 1968 - Father Malachy Riddle and Jonathan Ambache, two British members of a relief team sponsored by Save the Children Fund, were killed when a landrover in which they were riding was blown up by a mine.
