Remembering Ken Saro-Wiwa - Shell to Sea!

Hundreds of people from all walks of life braved the Mayo weather on Saturday to witness a truly spectacular event.

A mural of murdered Nigerian writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was unveiled outside the planned Shell/Statoil Bellanaboy refinery.

The unveiling was performed by a 4 year old Ogoni boy now resident in Ireland following prayers lead by an African minister.

The event, attended by Irish and African people from Cork to Donegal, commemorated the 10th anniversary of the executions of Shell protestors Ken Saro Wiwa and his 8 comrades on the 10th of November 1995.

Following the unveiling of the mural, 9 Nigerial Asylum Seekers walked in procession with 9 crosses bearing the names of the 'Ogoni 9' and planted them in front of 9 hangman's ropes in bogland facing the disputed terminal.

It was a chilling reminder to the community, to the country and to the multinational of what happened when these brave men peacefully objected to the destruction of the homes and land 10 years ago.

Later on a party for Africans living in Ireland was hosted by Shell to Sea in nearby Glenamoy and featured African food and drink, a reggae DJ and African drumming and dance.

There was a powerful energy amongst all present who knew they were taking part in an historic event that will be seen as a milestone in the ongoing battle against Shell, Statoil and their political supporters.

The struggle continues and the resolve increases - it's SHELL TO SEA!
