The Burial of Ken Saro-Wiwa

Africans Arise

Uploaded on May 18, 2009

The emotional re-burial of Ken Saro-Wiwa six years after he was buried in a mass grave following his execution by the Nigerian military government in 1995.

“On May 26, 2009, oil company Royal Dutch Shell (Shell) will stand trial in federal court in New York for complicity on egregious human rights abuses in Nigeria.

On November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa, an acclaimed writer and leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), was hanged along with eight other Ogoni leaders, after a trial before a military tribunal that was condemned around the world as a sham. Ken Saro-Wiwa’s last words were: “Lord take my soul but the struggle continues.”

“Don’t Let Shell Kill Again” is public policy video edited from two films to support the City of Berkeley’s boycott of companies doing business with Shell Oil Company because of the multinational corporation’s impact on Nigeria and for the death of Ken Saro-Wiwa with eight other environmental activists. The video presentation was seen at the City of Berkeley’s Regular Council meeting in 1997 and several public showings in our community. A very special thanks to Carol Denney for the narration and to the East Bay Media Center in Berkeley for postproduction.

Posted by http://www.remembersarowiwa.com/ – the second part of this rare interview with the writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was screened in late November 1995 on Channel 4. Saro-Wiwa led the Ogoni people of Nigeria in their non-violent struggle to stop the multinational oil companies, like Shell, destroying their land and livelihood. This is the last recorded interview where Saro-Wiwa speaks about the politics of oil, art in society and the Niger Delta crisis. On 10th November 1995, Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues were executed by the Nigeria military government following a flawed trial.

Oil Turmoil – Nigeria

Journeyman Pictures

Uploaded on Sep 10, 2007

March 1999
This beautifully-shot expose takes you to the heart of the corporate/tribal struggle. Nigeria’s impoverished oil-producing communities are outraged.

They see few returns from the myriad of oil wells that pollute their villages. We see forests destroyed by disastrous oil spills, whilst Shell provides evidence to suggest many spills are sabotage, in order to gain compensation. But time has run out for the beleaguered multi-national: Ijaw youths issued the ‘Kaiama declaration’, demanding Shell leave their land by December. The deadline was ignored and the Ijaw have relaunched a new bout of forced closures and hostage-taking. Shell is powerless to defend itself without calling in the corrupt and vicious army. Wounded youths lie in crude hospitals, victims of the army’s defence of the flow stations they fail to seize. Felix Tuodolo, signatory of the Kaiama declaration, says the crisis will continue:’We will keep going down to those flow stations. Our blood will flow.’ He claims the Ijaw remain unarmed, but reports of armed youths training in the bush spell out a bleak future. Shell says it is ready to negotiate, but it may be too little, too late.
