Reminded me of Vonnegut's haunting account of his trip to Baifra: http://journeytoforever.org/rrlib/biafra.html

THERE is a "Kingdom of Biafra" on some old maps which were made by early white explorers of the west coast of Africa. Nobody is now sure what that kingdom was, what its laws and arts and tools were like. No tales survive of the kings and queens.

It's a really good piece actually. The West-worshipping (also literally, as Christians) Biafrans got so fucked by both the Brits and the Soviets working together.
