Nigeria's MEND Rebels Speak - A Vanguard clip

afitzgerald
Over the last few weeks, the MEND rebels in Nigeria's oil-producing Delta region have stepped up attacks on oil companies and government targets. Wednesday a truce was announced between the rebels and the government but then quickly called into question.

This is a clip from the Vanguard show "Rebels in the Pipeine" in which Mariana van Zeller speaks with the MEND rebels themselves.
"Current's Mariana van Zeller travels to one of the most unstable regions in the world - Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta. She investigates what's behind the growing number of kidnappings and attacks in Africa's largest oil producer and the US's fifth largest energy supplier."

    • The clip may be old but things have gotten pretty hot in Nigeria. THe Alas Cove Jetty was attacked in Lagos killing 10. Shell, Chevron have evacuated personnel and claimed Force Majure on oil shipments.

    • You're right, cwc_agent - this is from a Vanguard show that aired a while back. But with the news out of the Delta region this week about the ceasefire, we thought this clip would be interesting for all those who haven't seen the show yet.
