Oil Delta Rebels Say 'War' Starts Oct 1
Reuters 27/09/04
"The Nigerian rebel group fighting government troops in the oil-rich
Niger delta said on Monday it will launch "all-out war on the
Nigerian state" from Oct. 1 and advised all oil companies to shut
production by then.
The Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force, in a communique issued after a
meeting of its central command, also advised all foreigners to leave the
delta, which pumps all of Nigeria's 2.3 million barrels per day
production..."

Rebels
threaten Nigeria's oil wells
Guardian 25/09/04
"A rebel group battling rival militias and government forces in
Nigeria's oil-rich delta has threatened to target oil installations in an
escalation of the conflict.
Production in Africa's biggest oil exporter has not been disrupted by the
fighting which has turned much of the region into a war zone.
But that may change after one of the most powerful militias, the Niger
Delta People's Volunteer Force, vowed this week to target wells and
pipelines unless the government halted its offensive. Such attacks could
increase global oil prices, since about half of Nigeria's 2.5m daily
barrels comes from the Port Harcourt area where the militia operates..."

Ethnic,
Criminal Bloodletting Over Oil Wealth Has Nigeria's Petroleum Industry
Reeling
AP 08/08/04
"Nigeria's oil industry - Africa's largest and the fifth-biggest
source of U.S. oil imports - is likewise concerned for its future. A
yearlong spree of bloodletting has killed more than 1,000 people in the
delta - unrest comparable in scale to Chechnya and Colombia.
The growing insecurity in Nigeria's most lucrative industry comes as oil
prices briefly hit a record intraday trading high Tuesday of $44.24 a
barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange following a heightened U.S.
terror alert and supply concerns in Russia and OPEC, of which Nigeria is a
key member.
Major oil companies hope to double production in West Africa's Gulf of
Guinea, estimated to hold up to 10 percent of the world's oil reserves.
The United States, Europe and Asia are increasingly looking to the
region's oil as an alternative to crude from the Middle East.
Yet residents of Nigeria's southern oil-producing delta complain their
elected leaders have failed to fight poverty in the region. Tensions over
oil revenues have aggravated ethnic strife. Kidnappings and sabotage have
escalated, forcing costly shutdowns by companies pumping crude..."
Nigerian
Warlord Says Vote Fraud Fuels Conflict
Reuters 19/06/04
"A Nigerian warlord said on Saturday he took up arms to fight for
control of the Niger delta's oil wealth because the government had
thwarted peaceful change by stealing elections.
Flanked by militia wearing charms and holding Kalashnikov assault rifles
in a fishing camp close to the oil city Port Harcourt, Mujahid
Dokubo-Asari said his group now controls three local councils in Rivers
state, one of the main oil-producing states of southern Nigeria.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and its leading oil producer but
its resource wealth has fueled political division, violence and
corruption.
Asari, who recently stepped down as president of the ethno-political group
the Ijaw Youth Council, has been declared a wanted man by the state for
alleged "cult" activities, a local term for gangsterism.
But he says the government is trying to discredit the delta people's fight
for a fair share of the region's huge oil wealth..."
"...Asari, who is based in the eastern side of the Delta's vast
region of swamps and river channels, said he uses oil siphoned from
pipelines to finance a huge arsenal, including rocket-propelled grenades,
machine guns and "hundreds" of Kalashnikovs, and an army of
2,000 men..."
"...Asari, once a leading public figure in the Ijaw activist scene,
said he was driven underground soon after the Ijaw Youth Council publicly
rejected the April 2003 election result, which gave President Olusegun
Obasanjo a second term and his PDP party a huge majority in Rivers state..."
"...The State Department said the elections were "marred by
serious irregularities and fraud."
Since the poll, Asari says he has been attacked several times by
paramilitary groups supported by the government. State information
commissioner Magnus Ngei Abe denied the state government gave any support
to militia.
Then in early June, hundreds of army, air force and navy descended on
Asari's stronghold at Buguma, near Port Harcourt, where about 20 were
killed..."
"...Asari is one of a long line of self-styled freedom fighters in
the Niger delta, who have tapped popular discontent with the government's
failure to provide basic services and relieve poverty despite the region's
huge oil wealth.
Last year, thousands of Ijaw militants staged an uprising in the western
part of the delta around the city of Warri in an attempt to win more
political and economic power.
The fighting briefly forced oil companies to shut about 40 percent of the
OPEC nation's oil output, until it was crushed by the deployment of about
5,000 troops who remain there today.
Asari said the electoral fraud and militarisation of the delta showed that
the path of negotiation, pursued by many other Ijaw activists, had failed..."
"...Oil companies blame criminal gangs for stealing between 50,000
and 100,000 barrels per day from the maze of pipelines criss-crossing the
delta's mangrove swamps.
Asari said he was against taking oil workers hostage, but supported the
closure of oil production in the delta.
The state government said Asari's political rhetoric was just a cover for
a criminal engaged in turf wars over lucrative river routes used by oil
smugglers to export stolen crude.
Asari says his army, known as the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force, is
clearly distinguished from criminal gangs.
Like many Niger delta activists before him, Asari questions the legality
of the Nigerian state and wants a referendum of Niger delta people to
decide it they want to opt out of the federation."
