De milieuactivisten in de Niger Delta van Nigeria zijn vooral bekend van hun ideologische strijd tegen oliemaatschappijen. Maar sinds een paar jaar zijn sommige groeperingen aan het veranderen in criminele organisaties. Van de vreedzame beweging van schrijver en activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (1941-1995) lijkt niet veel over. In de mangrovebossen in het zuiden heersen zo’n 20 tot 50 verschillende rebellengroepen. Deze worden nu zelfs beschuldigd van het kidnappen van schoolkinderen.
