Mend Vows to Stop Royal Dutch Shell's Nigeria Oil Operations
Christine Eke at the Black Britain weblog reported February 21, 2006 that The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend), the Nigerian group "holding nine foreign hostages" in the delta, "has vowed to stop Royal Dutch Shell (from) using the damaged pipe which accounts for 15 percent of Nigerian (oil) production, and has warned more attacks on the whole region could come."
The pipe was sabotaged February 20, 2006.
According to Black Britain, they told The Associated Press in an email: “We are going to continue with the destruction of oil facilities in Delta State while concluding arrangement for our wider attacks on the entire region.”
