Jump To Comment: 1 2Is it only because Kiely is Irish that he gets the nod? This despite the fact that he is part of a capitalist imperial organisation that has both directly and indirectly murdered thousands of Nigerians (Ogonis in particular), and polluted vast tracts of mangrove swaps in a gross act of environmental destruction?
To say nothing of working with a despotic greedy and evil dictator?
I for one wouldnt have shed any tears for him if it went the otherway and he came back in a box. Dont get me wrong Im glad no one got hurt, but if you take part in oppression and thievery of other peoples natural resources like this you cant expect to come away unscathed.
Shell out of the Niger delta, justice for the impoverished natives, is that too much too ask?
S
The source for the story has insisted on remaining anonymous, and in an unprecedented show of "vague-ness" Reuters too are asking around.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4644324.stm
I think this story is somewhat related to the conflict in the Delta in September 2005 when the "Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force" (NDPVF) threatened to fire the wells , after their leader Moujahid Dkubo-Asari was arrested. see "Nigeria - "are the oil fields going to be dynamited or not?" :-
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=72147
But this latest incident is by the "Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta", and amongst their demands are the release of two local leaders of the Ijaw tribe. Thus without much specific info to go on, I get the feeling that this is the "same story" as before but with a new ethnic twist. After last september's incidents which I'd remind ye all occured against the backdrop of Huricane Katrina and the loss of over 20% of US oil refinery production, the corporations (such as Shell) realised that they needed to "beef up" their militarisation of the Delta. And naturally the NGO's have condemned that.
Its not just Shell. Its all of them. In fact Its the agenda of the Russian g8 2006 gig.
"energy security".
