It has come out that Shell Oil allegedly motivated the Nigerian army to kill local tribes in Ogoniland to defend a pipeline back in the 90s.
This blowing up as a major news story would probably be good for whites – points out ruthlessness of mega-corporations, savagery of Africans, spins liberals into a tizzy. It’s a perfect narrative.
But the story broke last week, and just got a few media mentions.
BBC:
Oil giant Shell should be investigated for alleged complicity in” horrific crimes” committed by the military in Nigeria in the 1990s, Amnesty International has said.
Shell encouraged a crackdown, which led to killings and the burning of villages in the oil-producing Ogoniland region, the rights group added.
The Anglo-Dutch oil firm said the allegations were “without merit”.
The region was hit by protests over oil pollution and poverty in the 1990s.
It led to a massive crackdown by Nigeria’s then-military regime.
Nine activists, including writer and environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, were executed in 1995, causing global outrage.
In a statement, Shell Nigeria said it had always denied involvement in the executions.
“We were shocked and saddened when we heard the news of the executions. Shell appealed to the Nigerian government to grant clemency. To our deep regret, that appeal, and the appeals made by many others within and outside Nigeria, went unheard,” it said.
Amnesty said it had studied thousands of internal documents of the company and witness statements which pointed to the need for the UK, the Netherlands and Nigeria to launch an investigation into the firm’s alleged complicity in human rights abuses in Ogoniland.
“The evidence we have reviewed shows that Shell repeatedly encouraged the Nigerian military to deal with community protests, even when it knew the horrors this would lead to – unlawful killings, rape, torture [and] the burning of villages,” the rights group said in a statement.
“In the midst of this brutal crackdown Shell even provided the military with material support, including transport, and in at least one instance paid a military commander notorious for human rights violations. That it has never answered for this is an outrage,” it added.
Amnesty blows stuff out of proportion, but they only really make things up when it’s beneficial to Middle Eastern Jews, and I don’t see how this fits that profile.
RT is the only network following up on this story.
Almost like Royal Dutch Shell commands an ability to influence the media.
