Thanks for posting it.
The essay needs careful formatting to make it easier to read, particularly since it is an exhaustive historical historical analysis.
He sums up my disappointment with the Adichie essay-
... Adichie...has to acquire the knowledge of Nigerian civil war either by reading books or listening to those who witnessed it. Unfortunately it would appear she has listened mostly to people like Achebe who remembers history differently from what actually happened.'
She made an effort at analysis but the bulk of her essay is more hearsay than research.
