November the tenth: lessons learned (or not)
Looking back at Shells history of brutality and looking forward to the comemmeration actions in Mayo on November 9th
The tenth of November is fast approaching. This day has come to signify across the world the brutality that is systematic behind Royal Dutch Shell's corporate image. It is also becoming a day of hope and resistance against this brutality. Twelve years ago this November the Nigerian government hung nine activists from MOSOP(Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People) at the behest of Shell. These activists (who included the famous writer Ken Saro Wiwa) were accused of incitement murder by the Nigerian military Junta. The charges were absolutely spurious. Saro Wiwa was detained by the military as he tried to go the Niger delta the morning before the murders even happened. The case of gross injustice attracted worldwide support from many organisations such as the Sierra Club. Even John Major the Conservative Party leader at the time called the executions "judicial murder". Unfortunately, the massive efforts failed and the nine were hung on November the 10th 1995. One may ask what has this got to do with Shell, Ireland or us.
