“Extractable”
Ken Saro-Wiwa: All the things he predicted have come to pass
The execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and his colleagues in 1995 dragged Shell and Nigeria’s leadership into a controversy from which they find it difficult to extricate themselves. Fourteen years on, the actions of both are still seen through the prism of the showdown with the Ogonis. Ogoniland has remained in limbo: no oil has been pumped since 1993, there has been little development, and mediation efforts collapsed without one meeting between Shell and the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People.
