[added:]: MEND confirms that there was indeed a raid on this particular community by the Nigerian Military which had being tipped-off by certain persons from this community. The hostages were guided by only a few of our fighters who retreated in order to prevent an exchange of fire that would have endangered the lives of these hostages. However, our fighters have been instructed to carry out more raids on oil installations from where fresh hostages will be taken.

ngrguardiannews 20-NOV-10

[added:]: Our units ambushed the convoy of Nigerian Army gunboats at Ayakoromo in Delta State. This convoy was literally decimated. Reports reaching us from the General Hospital, Warri in Delta State, indicate that 10 soldiers were brought in dead and 18 seriously injured. A large number of Nigerian Army soldiers were reported by our fighters to have drowned.

ngrguardiannews 20-NOV-10

[-said]: The South African government is playing an obviously partial role over the Independence Day Bombing in its handling of the Henry Okah angle because the Nigerian government has threatened to nationalise the South Africa communication giant, MTN, if the country does not follow a devious script.

ngrguardiannews 16-OCT-10

[-said]: In an obvious attempt to intimidate anyone opposed to the presidential ambition of Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian government hiding under the cloak of terrorist hunters have been witch-hunting, falsely accusing and harassing its perceived opponents,

[said:]: we are giving the government about seven days' notice to put every security measure they have in place before we strike.

reuters 15-OCT-10

[-said]: They were given five days prior notice which led to the harassment of Henry Okah on Thursday, September 30 in South Africa.

allafrica 05-OCT-10

[-also insisted that]: Unfortunately, the security agencies who we gave prior notice failed to take our warning seriously causing avoidable loss of lives. Imagine that the WTC (World Trade Center) building was given a one hour notice, do you think lives would have been lost? The twin towers would have been evacuated to the last kitten.

csmonitor 05-OCT-10

[-said]: Our hearts go to the families of those killed who we know were sympathetic to our cause. The irresponsible attitude of the government security forces is to blame for the loss of lives.

allafrica 05-OCT-10

[had said:]: Okah has never been involved in any MEND operations but has always been blamed for every attack which is strange to us.

allafrica 04-OCT-10

[ said]: Abuja is symbolic as the seat of power that held the people of the Niger Delta captive for 50 years and this was an opportunistic attack because it was an opportunity to highlight the injustice in the presence of world leaders who were beginning to get the false impression all is well

ngrguardiannews 04-OCT-10

[ said]: It has nothing to do with Jonathan. Our fight is about resource control and the leader willing to do the right thing. We are not opposed to him as a person. However, we do not have confidence in him. His threat is a part of the challenges we have to face in fighting this injustice. It is no different from the bullets and extra-judicial killings our boys face in the hands of the JTF

[-said]: We reiterate that we have no knowledge of any group known as the Joint Revolutionary Council or JRC. Dokpesi and the public should ignore statements from such group,

allafrica 16-SEP-10

[-said]: The government and People of Ghana should therefore discountenance the unintelligent and baseless claim of the Nigerian High Commissioner, Musiliu Obanikoro intended to whip xenophobic sentiments against the Ijaws and other indigenous tribes of the Niger Delta legitimately visiting or residing in Ghana,

ngrguardiannews 11-JUL-10

[said:]: It is sufficiently clear at this point in time that the government of Nigeria has no intentions of considering the demands made by this group for the control of the resources and land of the Niger Delta to be reverted to the rightful owners, the people of the Niger Delta.

ngrguardiannews 15-FEB-10

[said:]: Which is an oil producing community to the government of Nigeria? The Nigerian government in all its wisdom defines an oil producing community as one where oil installations are sited; where oil is drilled or where flow stations and other facilities relevant to the continued bleeding of the Niger Delta and exportation of its mineral resources are found.

ngrguardiannews 15-FEB-10

[said:]: After careful consideration and extensive consultation, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) today, Saturday, January 30, 2010, has decided to call off a unilateral ceasefire ordered on Sunday, October 25, 2009.

allafrica 10-FEB-10

[-said]: Like many African nations, power is unfortunately centred around one man and the absence of this one man, in our case, President Yar'Adua, has likened Nigeria to a rudderless ship which can end up anywhere. The continued absence of the President and the vacuum of clear leadership created by this absence, inches Nigeria closer to self-destruction with each passing day,

[said:]: Severing relationship based on the American response will be an extreme measure. That Nigerians are made to go through enhanced screening should not be a big deal to us when we suffer much more at police and army checkpoints where people are delayed, forced to part with money, humiliated and in a lot of cases killed.
