Nigeria unrest 'recalls lead-up to 1967 Biafra war'

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has said the violence following his election is a "sad reminder" of events that plunged Nigeria into civil war.

He said Nigeria was still struggling to come to terms with the suffering of the 1967 conflict when the south-east tried to establish the state of Biafra.
Tens of thousands of people have fled the recent post-poll unrest.
The president said the violence was intended to frustrate remaining elections, but they would go ahead
