Nigeria: In the creeks of the Niger Delta

Twelve years ago, over the protests of human rights groups worldwide, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni minority and environmental rights activists in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta region were murdered by the military regime of the late General Sani Abacha. This year, the anniversary of their death was marked with a performance of "Tings Dey Happen", a one-man theatrical tour de force that takes a critical look at "oil politics" in Nigeria today, written and performed by the young U.S. playwright Dan Hoyle.
