Massive Casualties Feared in Nigerian Military Attack on Niger Delta Villages
Thursday, May 21, 2009 :The Nigerian military has been accused of killing hundreds, maybe thousands, of civilians in the oil-rich Niger Delta. The military offensive began eight days ago but has received little international attention. We go to Nigeria to speak with Denzil Amagbe Kentebe of the Ijaw National Congress. We're also joined by Sandy Cioffi, director of the new documentary "Sweet Crude" about the Niger Delta. The village of Oporoza, where much of the film was shot, has just been burned down.
