The horrors of (s)Hell in the Niger Delta (1 Spill a day)

http://sativawarrior.blogspot.com/2010/07/black-gold-in-niger-delta.html

Black Gold in Nigeria the truth about (S)hells horrible practices.

40% of its oil spills worldwide have occurred in the Niger Delta.

In the Niger Delta, there were 2,976 oil spills between 1976 and 1991.

This Rivers State Internal Security Task Force is suspected in the murders of 2000 people.

Ken's final words before his execution were: "The struggle continues!"

In 1990,Shell specifically requested that the military protect its facilities from nonviolent protesters in the village of Umeuchem. 80 villagers were killed in two days of violence.

In 1991 alone, $12 billion in oil funds disappeared (and have yet to be located).
Local governments admit that oil companies bribe influential local officials to suppress action against the companies.

There are currently many groups in the Niger Delta working on researching and educating about the environmental and social impacts of the oil industry on the Niger Delta.
A few of these are Environmental Rights Action (ERA) and Niger Delta Human and environmental Rescue Organization (ND-HERO).

Additionally,many ethnic groups other than the Ogoni are vocalizing and demonstrating against the environmental racism and human rights abuses of Shell,Chevron, Mobil, and many others.

International condemnation of Nigeria is widespread, but there has been much more talk than action.

the United Nations Special Rapporteurs report on Nigeria (released 4/15/98)
accused Nigeria and Shell of abusing human rights and failing to protect the environment in oil producing regions, and called for an investigation into Shell.

In word, the United States is a strong critic of the Nigerian government,
both past and present. It has condemned the existence of the military regime,
of election cancellations, and of the situation in Ogoniland.
It has threatened to take action. Yet it never does. As the largest consumer of Nigerian oil, the US could be the strongest advocate for human rights and justice, yet it refuses to take on that role.
