After 50 years of oil production, human rights and enviornmental abuses, injustice and exploitation we the people of the Niger Delta in the UK have agreed to come together under the umbrella of the Niger Delta Solidarity Campaign to work together towards creating awareness in the western world, especially in the UK, about the conflict in our homeland.
We wish to engage in a campaign to actively inform the media, parliamentarians, western governments and also disseminate information to the general public about the atrocities being committed in our homeland by the Nigerian military authorities.
We owe it to our fathers, mothers and children at home to use ourprivileged position of living in the UK, far away from the media black- out, oppression and military controls to bring the plight of our oppressed people to the attention of the world.
Together we can help to bring an immediate cessation of the ongoing military onslaught on our people, and contribute to positive
change and a peaceful resolution of the Niger Delta crisis.
Lets not forget that as well as the military activities; there is a propaganda war that is being waged against our people. The federal government and it’s state organs are painting a picture to the world that the on going campaign is against criminals and militants, but we know that it is our fathers, mothers and children that are being massacred.
