Postage stamps and postal history of Biafra

This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Biafra.
The ''Republic of Biafra'' was a secessionist state in south-eastern Nigeria which existed from 30 May 1967 to 15 January 1970. The secession was led by the Igbo people following economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria and contributed to the causes for the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. Biafra was recognized by Gabon, Haiti, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Zambia.
The authorities in Biafra issued banknotes and postage stamps in order to assert their claim to sovereignty. The postage stamps were used mainly on internal mail within the region but also on some external mail sent by air via Libreville in Gabon.〔Rossiter, Stuart & John Flower. ''The Stamp Atlas''. London: Macdonald, 1986, p.313. ISBN 0-356-10862-7〕 The stamps are not recognised as legitimate by all stamp catalogues.
==First stamps==
After independence, the Post Office in Biafra continued to use Nigerian stamps until they ran out when a "postage paid" cachet was applied instead until the first stamps were issued.〔
The first stamps of Biafra were issued on 5 February 1968 and consisted of three values to mark Biafran "independence".〔''Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue: Commonwealth and British Empire Stamps 1840-1970''. 110th edition. London: Stanley Gibbons, 2008, p.456-7. ISBN 0-85259-653-7〕
