.Militants Intensify Attacks… Bomb Oil/Gas Installations

.Oil Production Drops Drastically, Military Deploy More Troops

.Clark, Others Beg Federal Government/Militants For Cease Fire

Whatever hopes were raised by the peace parley between the Presidency led by President Muhammadu Buhari and the stakeholders of the Niger Delta Region under the aegis of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, seem to be disappearing by the day. Not only are new groups emerging to make new demands, there is infighting among the different groups claiming to represent the interest of the region. Some of them accuse the PANDEF of not being representative of peoples of the region while the others accuse Clark of pursuing a selfish agenda.

The first signs of trouble emerged barely 24 hours after the Tuesday, November I, meeting in Abuja when militants who had hitherto ceased fire blew up the Trans Forcado Pipeline. This attack was however linked to the deployment of soldiers to the region shortly after the parley.

However, military authorities quickly explained the deployment as routine.

However while efforts were being made to mend whatever cracks were appearing over the peace deal, another attack was carried out on Tuesday, November 15 by the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA. It was exactly two weeks after the peace meeting in Abuja. The attacks brought down three trunklines in Nembe, Bayelsa State.

Osama BinHary is such a stark illiterate that he doesn't know violence doesn't solve all problems.
