"This motion for a resolution is an example of the way in which the approach taken by Parliament can be completely differentiated, treating countries whose political leadership is favourable to the interests of big capital in the major EU powers one way, while taking an arrogant and openly interventionist approach towards countries that do not submit to its orders.
The language used in this resolution is intentionally soft in the face of an extremely serious situation, as it seeks to focus attention on what is essentially a consequence – the strengthening of terrorist organisations – and ignores the roots of the whole problem: namely, the unbridled exploitation of the country’s natural resources, in particular oil and natural gas; corruption and violence fuelled by the major multinational oil companies; and massive poverty. It is not enough to ask the oil companies to contribute and take more responsibility when we are talking about companies that have committed the greatest crimes against the Nigerian people and have caused irreparable environmental damage. Environmental crimes against humanity have been committed in the Niger delta, leaving no source of income for coastal communities."@en1
