Dear President Alexander Stubb,
@alexstubb
I write this letter as a passionate appeal to your esteemed leadership to address the pressing matter of Simon Ekpa’s detention.
As a nation celebrated for its unwavering commitment to democracy, human rights, and justice, Finland has a unique opportunity to reaffirm these principles by championing the cause of Simon Ekpa and supporting the legitimate quest for self-determination by the Biafran people.
The Case of Simon Ekpa: Justice Demands His Release
Simon Ekpa is not just a citizen of Finland but a recognized voice for the marginalized and oppressed Biafran people in Nigeria. His advocacy for Biafra stems from a deep-seated belief in justice, equity,
and the right of a people to self-determination, principles enshrined in international law, including the United Nations Charter.
Detaining Simon Ekpa undermines Finland’s reputation as a global advocate for free speech and human rights. While security concerns and international and international diplomacy are undoubtedly complex, silencing an advocate for human rights sends the wrong message and risks compromising Finland’s moral high ground. By releasing Simon Ekpa, your administration will not only restore his personal liberty but also strengthen Finland’s position as a beacon of democracy.
The Quest for Biafra: A Just and Timely Cause
The Biafran struggle is rooted in decades of marginalization, systemic oppression, and violence against the Igbo people and other ethnic minorities in southeastern Nigeria. Calls for a referendum on Biafra’s independence are not demands for chaos but for justice and peaceful self-determination. Finland, as a nation that has experienced its own struggles for sovereignty, is uniquely positioned to understand and support this quest.
By supporting the Biafran cause, Finland aligns itself with global democratic values, offering moral and diplomatic support to a people striving for freedom. It is an opportunity for Finland to champion a peaceful resolution to one of Africa’s most pressing crises crises while positioning itself as a global leader in advocating for justice.
Strategic Benefits for Finland
1. Strengthened Global Reputation: Finland’s active involvement in promoting self-determination and justice will solidify its reputation as a nation committed to peace and democracy.
2. Economic Partnerships: A free Biafra could become a significant economic partner for Finland. Southeastern Nigeria is rich in human capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurial energy, offering immense potential for mutually beneficial trade and investment.
3. Cultural Diplomacy: By supporting Biafra, Finland strengthens its ties with the African continent, enhancing its role in global peacebuilding and creating opportunities for cultural and diplomatic exchanges.
4. Promotion of Stability: Finland’s support for a peaceful resolution of the Biafran struggle can serve as a model for resolving other conflicts worldwide, reinforcing its position as a leader in conflict mediation.
A Call to Leadership
President Stubb, history remembers leaders who stood on the right side of justice during critical moments. Your leadership can ensure that Finland do not merely stand as a bystander but actively contributes to resolving one of Africa’s most enduring issues.
By releasing Simon Ekpa and supporting the Biafran cause, Finland has an opportunity to affirm its commitment to justice, human rights, and the principles of self-determination. This is not merely a political act but a moral imperative—one that aligns with Finland’s core values and offers profound benefits for its global standing.
The world is watching. Will Finland rise to the occasion?
