Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Ogoni Nine who were executed by the Nigerian military government in November 1995 after campaigning against widespread oil pollution in the Niger Delta.

@amnesty.org calls for the Ogoni Nine to be fully exonerated.

After decades of crude oil spills and the introduction of invasive plant species, thousands of hectares of mangroves in the Niger Delta are destroyed.

Now, Ogoni women from coastal villages, supported by the Lokiaka Community Development Centre, have taken up reforestation efforts.

Ask Ken Saro-Wiwa how privatising the oil industry went in Nigeria Kemi.

Oh wait, you can't, he was executed by the military dictatorship for his protests against the destruction of the Ogoni homelands by Shell.

At least 2 witnesses at his trial were bribed to lie with job offers at Shell.

Por no hablar de la violencia política o el asesinato de activistas. La ejecución de Ken Saro Wiwa y otros líderes del pueblo Ogoni es la punta del iceberg de décadas de paramilitarismo empresarial y violencia política en el Delta del Níger.

Deze week 30 jaar geleden werden in Nigeria de Ogoni-9, opgehangen omdat ze opstonden tegen Shell.

In 2024 nam de EU eindelijk een wet aan die mensen het recht gaf op te staan tegen vervuilende multinationals.

Schandelijk hoe die wet nu bij het oud vuil wordt gezet.

I'm in the Niger Delta and I have a small crowdfunder which has paid for two anti-shell billboards & hundreds of placards & t-shirts to be printed to be given away.

But the activists have asked for if we can get a bit more to pay the bus fare of farmers who want to come to the march tomorrow...

I've been reading about big oil and corruption, it's a long and sad story..

The crushing of the Ogoni people in the Niger Delta, and the state execution of the Ogoni Nine, is an especially heartbreaking chapter.
Was Shell complicit in murder?
Oil giant Shell has a case to answer for its role in human rights violations including murder, rape and torture committed by the Nigerian military

A minha primeira lección de ecoloxía foron os dereitos humanos.
O pobo Ogoni sempre na memoria.
Durante décadas, Shell contaminou a sabendas o delta do Níxer

Durante décadas, comunidades e organizacións da sociedade civil denunciaron os seus enormes danos ambientais, a miúdo en balde

Agora que Shell se viu obrigada a revelar os seus papeis internos nun proceso xudicial, a verdade sae á luz🔍
For decades, Shell has knowingly polluted the Niger Delta.

And for decades, communities and CSOs have reported about its huge environmental damage, often in vain.

But when Shell is forced to reveal its internal documents in a legal case, the truth comes out. 🔍

E não custa nada lembrar que a Shell tem responsabilidade direta na repressão do governo da Nigéria a protestos pelos impactos da exploração do petróleo no país, que resultaram, entre outros, na execução, em 1995, do poeta, escritor, professor e ativista Ken Saro Wiwa
