Shell response to Urgent Action statement by Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP)

For many years, MOSOP has claimed that SPDC [Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria] is anxious to return to Ogoniland in order to resume oil production. During that time, SPDC has consistently stated that it would not return to Ogoni to produce hydrocarbons without consultation with the Ogonis...We understand that Father Kukah has been at pains to invite all shades of Ogoni opinion, including MOSOP, to the dialogue meetings. However it seems that, for whatever reason, MOSOP has not attended all meetings...The fire at Yorla Well-13 was successfully put out on Tuesday, 7 November.
