if you kind of know how you try to provide security for itself. just as a very foreign to see are you going to travel. so far to find it don't go all the way and it's known as a street. don't go out when he just needs to know. it's a look around to pull. the bar and you are no that's. not it just shows. you. from others that we arrive at the house a super secure is a little fortress but outside and inside. is the same friend so from you know your guide see look through this who is that decide if anything is going on you get to see all those he already does i was here you.

were here with the old lie still so. so. so then i looked it out minds because of where we should all proof for but because of anything to be here for security purposes difficult for them to get to you is it is so you call the bullies you run. patrick and his wife so you get used to it know that the state of alert becomes second nature when patrick quits the tension of his high risk he confronts another tension ashore. the eye ito family is very well off they leave the country join the vacations to take a rest i've heard people say that he. was not a cheat but it was a curse on the journey where you think god is bigger than what is in the now. because what is happening so people now see it doesn't close because of the need to see the kidnapping and. they say. they're taking this.

and. it's just the government isn't serious themselves that's why. this labor costs are not sublists. this is what mrs i talking about militants from men movement for the emancipation of the niger delta. groups of highly armed guerrillas who attack all sides blow up pipelines and kidnap oil workers. they hide and train in the mangroves their chiefs are in the big cities or abroad. acquiring their revenues from almost sales oil smuggling and ransom demand from foreign companies they confront the forces of law and order directly in exchanges which end in death some both sides. after endless bargaining during our various trips we were able to make contact with the mend militants. they agreed to talk at

a secret location where we were taken eyes blindfolded during the journey. in a room behind closed windows and doors we met the men who terrorize the oil companies workers and who by their attacks managed to reduce production it's. the man who's going to talk to us calls himself commander rambo here. because when the angel was we were in lake it's a slit for the buzz so if clear sailing is. just given for the looks of this sort of language that i will settle for the most suppression of those in the region. as a distance. there's the using the same tactic vote in a different way but the sort they're doing in the schoolyard is they were doing the

raid a room there will be. like my old pop it's. almost the sentence there is a sentence because this is that and give money to one look at chief or one government official when he suppresses the press the rights of the people so it's nuclear. we have to do this to force their hand to saunter not just calmly with the government because if we destroy production it's a phrase the government of. congress to swallow it is sit or fund or destroy. how you book to goof off sure to form for example. if you're in that close of. a man the militants are able to travel far and they're fast and powerful

boats. aboard the f.b.i. so they're waiting for them but with our name when they might come the price of a ransom for an expatriate fifty thousand dollars thirty thousand euros the hostages are always returned in good condition to go was from his office patrick is in contact with the offices on shore several times a day though his reports are like a poem with figures. twenty two mismatch from. twelve point three was due to just export. our production gas was that two point one five new not into q two. we injected five. full day. with c. to the top of the gas export it was. a good new shot for. what injection was done is.

it. there is a plan forward gradual plan online tonight. of most of the major point positions on the f.d.a. so. much in all the shows. this year so. it's possible but i think that would be. to see. it to be we're looking at a baby if it's it does happen. i would say maybe it been that's fifteen or twenty years because. the facts is we have to lie all the. technology from outside we go house to local technology.

contrary to what patrick thinks they do have the technology but not the same means . a little trip continues along the delta for a sequence that nobody has ever yet managed to filter. through said time from a village whose name the inhabitants also is not to mention because their revenues don't exactly derives from the declared economy. the journey through the mangrove in the countries arms of the delta is scary. to cross a huge areas where oil spread. thick layer of black oil that covers the entire surface of the water below which all life is totally disappeared. kilometer after kilometer of mangrove are affected and yet no scientific mission has ever yet come into these territories and.

the six black smoke is rising over the mangroves. we've arrived at last. as we approach the men flee. love of those in our boat call to them reassuring up. refinery. an illegal refinery under the open sky. here men distill crude oil their floats they're handed amidst the steam talk on the risks of

explosion. men who've welded together a few cams to make stills. and to feed the fire by tossing bowls of oil onto it. it's an apocalyptic scene under the dying palm trees. the men live here d.t.s. . sleep here and die here and tot up from the inside.

if. soon which brightened. soon from plans to. start on t.v. don't come. my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems . i was missing my leg. and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me for my hands you know just as if anyone would. but they do tell a story they tell

a story of. the oxen. world from the funny science technology innovation hall the list of elements from around

russia we've got the huge earth covered. in the news a secret laboratory to mccurdy was able to build a new it's most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and we're going this is why you should care only on the dot com. is the heat. wave.

if anything for an idea the film. would. fund this one is pretty. discouraging. and it is different to refining. all coal from the steam. they call one of. the finest. ok there's always room.

for. the skins east we went to the. fish block and we put it inside the old we said on the opened up that phone. and grandson called it when. we get a community we don't get greedy to. do it's like that's going to notice me on. a defined beach. and. on opening day with. quantity which by what i do with. what can you say it's dirty it's dangerous. and a quarter of a dying my fisherman turn borders of crude oil just trying to get by. a nightmare no. more of

a parallel economy which learn the basics of refining from oil company technicians . and where does the crude come from and where does the refined products go. and. then the. company of course of course but this is look. good because i know what the concrete where not relying on anything everybody's trouble nice or silly goes final save the city shall. still sanaa pouring out boiling refined oil residues on the under still tal's will be thrown into a hole dug in the ground to fuel another operation. opposite the refinery canoes photo the gunnels with oil await their turn. the boat is used in confined could. use. as

a group or. be. using convened a group. like a truck like sure like a truck like a truck like a truck because i'm. getting from somewhere far away from here so we can't draw more bookit to the point i come back it will be strenuous. many times so they use these two. good quantity of the produce did just fill the boat like that sure with the crude oil. so many so many so many so these boys sometimes they go. out to dominate or contaminate what they put it into the. this is called depleted to decay no one to process it here refine it here. and after. the refined.

ok. black market in local markets local market there are people who comes here to buy from other places people that i don't even. i to do it has a new talk this business has a netbook so there are people come from far and wide to get this productive for themselves and of course there's been a day when using it to supplement the d.d.d. the national productive cause is not sufficient nigeria is about one hundred fifty million population and about a friend i was at work and as you are aware and these people guys are doing these to the government for this. every way to sustain yes yes yes. here and there across the forest smoke rises to indicate

a refinery apparently there are dozens we do a little further into the mangrove. which is the crude oil that these men refine come from how do they get it. on the way christmas trees abandoned like old but some economy. scorched earth that once served as a refinery parties of oil everywhere. and then a scorching us have taken a risk the village chiefs people in high places get dividends from illegal refineries but the feeling of a dead end the point of no return is drowning them in indignation. after a moment we stop in the middle of an expanse of blacks do you. nothing on the surface but the end of

a plastic pipe half emerging the well is here to here harvest work. on the ground here b.s. there is a trance niger. pipe connecting the flow stations to bony tom and there's a ton going on in but a word is gloat export cuckoo door from day and the pipes are being laid on the ground from here to bony yes what is the technique people from here use for collecting liquid or when they see that when they see that there's a leak they go to disport because it looks from the ground up they want to get to the points on the ground when they get deadly protrudes on the sufi's of the i'm pretty good. as well you can still get. used to oil too much or too much too much work here.

thanks. ever stop to. the. close is wonderfully to close it indeed know when to calm the open need to. use it in the daytime to close it because there willacy you don't want people to see that. you do have to continuously. excuse me they used the mission commission. to the who. was. around the makeshift drilling a migrant is dead eaten away by the oil it's this type of leak more or less assisted that is the source of the black swamps we pass through. and we learn that retired engineers and technicians from the companies do the jobs themselves. because the operation requires skill. for two thousand dollars they come with their equipment d.p.'s the pipeline and they put in

a tap. the commissioner of this act of piracy then becomes owner of his own oil well. and sells the raw material to the buyers in the canoes to refine it further on. so all along the road you find tiny independent service stations consisting of three or four cans who supply the motorist. a flourishing black market based on chaos and man's inventiveness. out at sea it's a final stage in the process. a giant boy will serve as a morning of supply point for supertankers from all over the world. two hundred kilometers off the coast the d.i.y. man and backyard refiners won't be piercing the pipelines pilots are responsible for that operation by hand and by hook. what spy to see going tugs the maneuver seems almost traditional.

thought it would be. just about a no go to the good stuff that i would push to split up with out to the dug up there would be about a false. stand off way it's good to see a guy that. was asking us to do what i was going to call it without it without. problems like. you know how to better i go through that old every day. with me don't. want to go. he started going to good one you don't want lost it's like got somebody one hundred. but you know. it will probably.

be a. big sell off you go on good looking. god given the big one three. progressing gradually. filling the tank it will take three days and it will be immediately replaced by another. you can almost hear the oil slipping through the pipes. are going to. live up to what a. lot of. guys i was a. washer i see festool. but i spend their time of the year. you know. twenty four hours a day off the coast petrol is pumped treated then delivered the world needs energy and we haven't found anything better. in the future they envisage drilling to depths of more than five thousand or six thousand meters further and further from

land and watching ice at night the s.p.s. i was like a magnificent motionless file with displays and i am one last question to ask. what. we mean. we maintain a principle that and what is equal and some of the common rules without a soul whether you call it wrong. whether you're male female and so on and. would show that as much as possible no problems come. so far so far we haven't had any and it's applies to most of all of the sites that have talked to. her some workers some workers the best saying that.

each of nigeria. nigeria was feeling the. ledger was there are companies to make it work. but i was saying. it's. its sides and can say it's one thing. probably not probable. but. life life is not.
