One million #Igbo people fled northern #Nigeria in 1966, and up to 30,000 were murdered in #pogroms, so the southeast rebelled and sought independence as the Republic of #Biafra. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1970, an almost three-year-long #NigerianCivilWar ended in Biafran surrender.

Igbo Wikimedians User Group (IWUG) 與 Women Association For Technology And Innovation (WAFTAI) 聯合主辦 2025 #喀麥隆與 #奈及利亞 Wikidata Days 活動，這是非洲首次舉辦的跨國 Wikidata 主題盛會，活動吸引了 84 位註冊參與者，其中超過 40 人出席開幕，展現了區域社群的積極投入。

活動的核心在於推動非洲語言的翻譯以及文化內容的建置，強化非洲在全球結構化知識平台上的代表性。除了技術培訓與工作坊，與會者也分享了如何透過 Wikidata 改善資料覆蓋率，並建立跨社群合作模式。這場活動不僅是一次知識交流，更是非洲 Wikidata 社群邁向國際舞台的重要起點，未來預計擴展至更多國家與社群，持續推動非洲知識的數位化與全球能見度。
