Shell In Nigeria

Shell’s oil operations in southern Nigeria are continuing to be the focus of protests by the Ogoni people of the Niger Delta. The growing number of demonstrations against the company is resulting in what appears to be a parallel move to counter this momentum: violent retaliation by the Nigerian Authorities. In April this year, one Ogoni was fatally shot in the back and many more wounded, whilst protesting the laying of new pipelines for Shell’s use across their farmlands.
