In contrast, airport and ad- ministration officials were working in the Midwest Region capital, Benin City, two days after Biafran troops were driven out last September. Military sources say the war in secessionist Biafra has pro- duced a curious switch. The ad- vancing federal soldiers are dug into defensive positions; the de- fending Biafrans are attacking.
