Is the oil-rich Gulf of Guinea facing new US/UK intervention?

Thirteen years ago the Nigerian Government executed Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists. Their death brought the plight of their people and the role of international oil companies in Nigeria to the attention of the world. Since 9/11, Nigeria and the other oil-producing countries of the Gulf of Guinea have only grown in strategic and economic importance to both Europe and the United States. .........Andy Rowell “The Next Gulf”
