jun 14, 2017 - New militant group threatens Niger Delta oil war - in Latin

Description:

YENAGOA, Nigeria, June 14 (Reuters) - Striking self-assurance, a penchant for hyperbole and a working knowledge of Latin - these are the hallmarks of the latest group of militants to emerge in Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta.

The New Delta Avengers are named in a nod to the Niger Delta Avengers who last year crippled Nigeria’s oil production in a fight for a greater share of the proceeds for the region, impoverished, like much of the country, by endemic corruption.
