Civil Society and Conflict Management in the Niger Delta
www.cleen.org/Final%20Report.%20Niger%20Delta.pdf
"There persists today a myth of a Hobbesian Niger Delta. Gang wars, cult killings, kidnapping of oil workers, hijacking of oil tankers, violent occupation of oil installations, armed robbery, election violence and communal conflicts are the raw materials for this mythology of the Niger Delta. This myth, in turn, feeds into stereotypes of a Niger Delta that is peopled by groups that are prone to conflict, criminality and violence. Yet, paradoxically, under military rule the Niger Delta was portrayed as the epitome of democratic resistance by local communities and their organizations." This report investigates the background and causes of the conflicts, and recommends policy interventions and advocacy.
