Quiet Diplomacy in Washington: Pro-Biafra Advocacy Shifts Focus From Propaganda to Policy Engagement

 


Washington, D.C. — While public attention often gravitates toward media campaigns and online narratives, advocates for Biafran self-determination say substantive work is unfolding away from the spotlight through direct engagement with U.S. policymakers.


A recently circulated video shows Mark Faust, an author and business strategist based in Cincinnati, Ohio, alongside Chief Evans Nwankwo of Ambassadors for Self-Determination, during advocacy activities in Washington, D.C. The group says its efforts are being coordinated in line with the objectives of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as part of a broader diplomatic push in the United States.


According to the organisers, the engagements focus on briefings with lawmakers, policy advisers, and opinion leaders on issues including Kanu’s detention, allegations of religious persecution affecting Judeo-Christian communities, and calls for a peaceful, lawful resolution of the Biafra question through internationally recognised mechanisms.


Supporters argue that the strategy prioritises credibility and persistence over publicity. They contend that sustained, low-profile dialogue within policy circles is more effective than high-cost influence campaigns, emphasizing that advocacy rooted in principle can outlast short-term messaging.


From meetings in regional hubs like Cincinnati to discussions near Capitol Hill, organisers say the initiative reflects a growing emphasis on policy engagement rather than media confrontation. They maintain that the momentum behind the campaign is being driven by consistency and moral argument, not financial outlays.


As the advocacy continues, participants insist that international scrutiny is increasing—and that the outcome will ultimately be shaped by deliberations within institutions, not headlines.
