Primo video tratto da "A sangue freddo" (LTD-031/2009), il secondo album de Il teatro degli orrori. La regia è di Jacopo Rondinelli. A SANGUE FREDDO (P. Capovilla, G. Ragno Favero, G. Mirai, F. Valente) Non ti ricordi di Ken Saro Wiwa? Il poeta nigeriano, un eroe dei nostri tempi. Non ti ricordi di Ken Saro Wiwa? Perché troppo ha amato l'hanno ammazzato davanti a tutti. Bugiardi dentro, fuori assassini, vigliacchi in divisa. Generazioni intere ingannate per sempre a sangue freddo. Ken Saro Wiwa è morto, evviva Ken Saro Wiwa. Non è il tetto che perde, non sono le zanzare, non è il cibo meschino. Non basterebbe a un cane. Non è il nulla del giorno che piano sprofonda nel vuoto della notte, sono le menzogne che ti rodono l'anima. In agguato, come sempre, la paura di morire. Io non mi arrendo, mi avrete soltanto con un colpo alle spalle. Io non dimentico e non mi arrendo. Io non mi arrendo, è nell'oblio che un uomo, è nell'indifferenza che un uomo, un uomo vero, muore davvero. Quanto è grande il cuore di ken Saro Wiwa? Forse l'Africa intera, il nulla del giorno sprofonda piano nel vuoto della notte. Avete ucciso Wiwa, ladri in limousine, che Dio vi maledica.

Essay from Nneka ~~ on KEN SARO-WIWA & the NIGER DELTA: Before and since the death of Ken Saro-Wiwa in November 1995 (In 1990, Saro-Wiwa started to dedicate himself to the amelioration of the problems of the oil producing regions of the Niger Delta. Focusing on his homeland, Ogoni, he launched a non-violent movement for social and ecological justice. In this role he attacked the oil companies and the Nigerian government accusing them of waging an ecological war against the Ogoni and precipitating the genocide of the Ogoni people. He was so effective, that by 1993 the oil companies had to pull out of Ogoni. This cost him his life.) the Niger delta has been experiencing political, economic and environmental disenfranchisement. Abject poverty, gas flaring, oil spillage, pollution of farmland and water are what the people get in return. Oil bunkering and general instability in the region compound energy problems abroad, reducing also the supply and driving up the cost of oil in global markets. Neither the government nor the oil companies have adequately addressed environmental problems such as gas flaring and oil spills. The Nigerian government has not provided adequate security to communities in the Niger Delta. With few exceptions, the government has allowed gangs and militias, some of which are funded by local politicians and party officials, to run rampant. Violence between rival gangs—particularly in the aftermath of the 2003 and 2007 elections—has resulted in the deaths <b>...</b>

He was executed on November 11th, 1995 for fighting for something to be done for the Ogoni people to be able to return to their life styles, fishing and farming. Since then, the situation in Ogoni land and the rest of the Delta seems ever unchanged. Kidnappings, which are not a novelty in this area has suddenly become good business and those not in for a buck are only buckling over and dying like flies. Investigating for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), actor/writer, Ross Kemp, went looking for some supposed Pirates, in the Niger Delta. For those who saw his programme, In search of Pirates, it is hard not to notice the futility of his efforts. Ross Kemp spent maybe a month in Nigeria looking for answers. He sat down in hotel rooms, waiting for phone calls that never came, he felt like a prisoner in some well guarded rooms. He waited in lobbies for hours on end waiting to be admitted to meet with dignitaries with whom he had prior appointments. One could see how staggered he was at the lavish display of Breakfast in a country where poverty is the name of the game. All said though, he was pretty miffed. Surprise surprise! Righteous anger or crude indignation, Mr Kemp had a feel of what a lot of Nigerians have to go through just to be heard. People in the Niger Delta have been looking for answers since Crude Oil became the craze. And every time they seem to make progress, everything seems to fall apart at the seams. One interesting fact about the Ross Kemp <b>...</b>

Poster owns no copyright to Mike MacDonald's Much Music interview with King Cobb Steelie videotaped on Much Music in the late 90's regarding Ken Saro-Wiwa, Nigerian author, television producer, environmental activist and winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize. Saro-Wiwa was an Ogoni, an ethnic minority in Nigeria whose homeland, Ogoniland in the Niger Delta, had been targeted for crude oil extraction since the 1950s and underwent extreme environmental degradation from decades of petroleum waste dumping by multinational petroleum corporations. Initially a spokesperson and finally President of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Saro-Wiwa started a nonviolent campaign against environmental degradation of Ogoniland by multinationals, particularly Shell. Saro-Wiwa was an outspoken critic of the Nigerian government owing to non-enforcement of environmental regulations on foreign petroleum companies, was arrested, hastily tried by a special military tribunal and hanged in 1995 by the military government of General Sani Abacha on charges viewed as unfounded. His execution provoked international outrage resulting in Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations for over 3 years. Louisiana's problems with BP have historical precedents indicating petroleum companies are not particularly benevolent corporate citizens, governments prefer corporate criminals to environmental activists, and prefer creating martyrs to sacrificing profits.
