The movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta(MEND) wishes to respond to the ignorant comments of the
spokesperson of the joint task force(jtf) Col Timothy Antigha and the
government of South Africa through its ministry of International Affairs.
The jtf spokesperson in his little mind is failing to comprehend the gravity of
the situation unfolding in the Niger Delta and attributes our attack on the Agip
pipeline to instigation by imaginary persons interested in benefiting from the
fraud that was the disarmament process in the Niger Delta.
The Nigerian government claims to have
disarmed more people than exist in the Nigerian Army with only two thousand
weapons to show for all their trouble. The lull in fighting by all groups in
the Niger Delta is being used to acquire more sophisticated weapons to ensure
that our next assault on the Nigerian oil industry expels western oil companies
once and for all. There is nothing the Nigerian military can do to halt us.
Agip cleverly indicated that 4000 barrels
of its production is affected by our attack. The reality is that close to
200,000 bpd of Nigerian crude exports is affected by our attack as that trunk
line served to transport crude oil for other oil companies as well. This
translates to a daily loss of at least 20 million us dollars
To the South African government, we accept
your challenge and will show you how easy it is to drive your investments out
of our region. If the Nigerian government cannot protect companies like shell
and chevron, how will they manage to protect an insignificant Sacoil? Within
the next few weeks, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta will
carry out a few major attacks on oil installations to demonstrate to the world
the helplessness of oil companies and the Nigerian military.
After these next attacks, there will be a
brief pause as we await the time agreed upon by all groups in the delta for the
resumption of hostilities in the Niger Delta.
