Kia kaha Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted November 24, 2020 Biafran hand painted, bolts of khaki cotton were hand painted with dye and then cut and sewn into uniforms. This uniform was found in a shop or stall during Op Turmoil - Rhodesian Security Forces attack ZIPRA's Kavalamanja base in Zambia in March 1978, it had just been laundered and was waiting to be picked up . I believe it to be Biafran and given to the ZIPRA cadres in Nigerian training camps. other stuff found with the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
