Niger Delta Militants' Joint Revolutionary Council Press Release : Visit of the Commission of Nobel Laureates
As the body is made up of internationally recognized, respected and independent members of the international community who have at one time or the other witnessed and experienced oppression and have spoken out on the side of truth, justice and rights, we want to believe that they will seek for genuine and lasting solutions for the Niger Delta people, her land, environment and our just and reasonable march towards self-determination.
We welcome Professor Wole Soyinka and his colleagues of the advance team of the Commission of Nobel Laureates as they arrive our creeks and swamps for consultation and fact-finding visits starting on the 31 st of July 2006.
On our part, we express our support for our brothers and sisters who are involved in this process to find a lasting and equitable resolution to the criminal and satanic occupation of our land and the dubious appropriation of our resources by an occupation Nigerian state and her imperialist and multinational oil and gas collaborators. We identify with the efforts of;
- Tony Uranta
- Isaac Osuaka
- Ibiba Don Pedro
- Eme Okon
- Ann Kio Briggs
- Oronto Douglas
- Abiye Kuromiema and the others.
The Commission of Nobel Laureates and the members of the Commission are hereby notified that despite the concern that has been expressed to them, they have no reason to be apprehensive of their stay here particularly in Ijaw territory as they talk to our people.
We call on the occupation Nigerian state and her Bantustan state governments in the Niger Delta to be civilized in their dealings, interactions and discussions with the members of the Commission by providing them with the needed assistance to get the facts to enable them reach a true conclusion that will provide the basis for an internationally recognized Commission of Inquiry supported by the United Nations to forever lay to rest, the criminal, satanic and illegal occupation of the Ijaw and Niger Delta territory.
We are also grateful to our patriotic and esteemed leader, Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari for granting his endorsement and total support to the visiting team.
The Struggle is Unstoppable
Cynthia Whyte
Spokesperson, Joint Revolutionary Council
