Nigeria: remembering Ken Saro Wiwa

Ken Saro Wiwa is remembered today: “It is important to note that the militancy that is taking place in the Niger Delta today has evolved out of the original non-violent struggle begun by Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni people in 1990 and the failure of successive Nigerian regimes together with their allies the mulitnational oil companies to respond to the demands and aspirations of the peoples of the Niger Delta.”
