AFX News Limited: Nigerian protesters occupy Shell oil pumping station, gas plant
Thursday 7 July 2005
LAGOS (AFX) – Protesters briefly shut down an oil pumping station and nearby gas plant, Royal Dutch/Shell said, underlining the risks to production in the Niger Delta as world oil prices surged to record new highs.
Officials of the Anglo-Dutch oil giant said youths from the village of Bille drove workers away from the Awoba oil flowstation and a gas plant in mangrove swamps 35 kilometres southeast of Port Harcourt yesterday.
Shell spokesman Simon Buerk said that the protesters later left the area and were now in discussions with the company about their community’s grievances.
‘It re-opened this morning,’ he said. Shell could not confirm how much production had been lost during the occupation, but a company official in Lagos said: ‘It’s not so much that you need to worry about it.’
Shell has not reported any injuries to its staff and was unable to say whether Nigerian security forces intervened during the incident.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
