Shell, now known as Royal Dutch Shell, has been in partnership with the Nigerian government extracting oil from the Niger Delta for 50-years. Their operations have shown no regard for the environment or the rights of the people of the region.
Despite the billions of dollars Shell has made from it’s numerous oil wells the locals have been driven into poverty. The land is saturated by oil leaks and dumping, the air is polluted by illegal gas-flaring and the rivers are so contaminated that fish cannot live in them.
The people have no choice but to eat contaminated food and drink polluted water. Along with the Nigerian government Shell is guilty of the most serious of human rights violations. Capitalism has no morality!
TAKE ACTION:
Boycott Shell at the pumps.
