MEND camp being bombed - cancellation of Unilateral Ceasefire

At about 20.00 hrs GMT and unto this hour, today 24th June 2008...camps belonging to revolutionary and heroic combatants of the struggle for the liberation and emancipation of the Ijaw and Niger Delta territory are being bombed by the armed forces of the Nigerian state.
In defiance to the forces of the Nigerian state, the leader of the attacked camps has successfully advanced in to the ranks of soldiers of the Nigerian state and have dealt them great casualties in a manner that has never been seen before in the history of warfares in Black Africa. There will be no respite and Ijaws will not allow our own suffer alone.

In furtherance thereof, the unilateral declaration of cease fire has been called off. The Nigerian state has declared war on the people of the Ijaw and Niger Delta. All combatants and fighters are hereby called upon to take up judgement against any and every agent of the Nigerian state and her imperialist collaborators such as Shell Petroleum Development Company.


The Struggle is on Course
