‘FG will not negotiate with criminals, Internet-based ‘militant’ groups’ – MEND

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), on Sunday, disclosed that it is in support of the Federal Government’s decision not to negotiate with the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and other militant groups in the region.

According to a statement by MEND’s spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, the group has begun talk with the Federal Government with hopes of restoring peace to the oil rich region.

MEND further disclosed that, “These preliminary talks are the precursor to a wider dialogue between the Federal Government and the MEND Aaron 2 peace initiative, which will seek to find solutions to the short, medium and long-term future of the Niger Delta region.

“The Federal Government made it clear during our meetings that a negotiation with criminals is out of the question.

“The Niger Delta Avengers and Internet-based ‘militant’ groups, such as Joint Revolutionary Council and Ultimate Warriors – Ijaw opportunistic tribal assemblies – that were compromised to keep silent during the six years of Goodluck Jonathan’s misrule and neglect; pirates; pipeline vandals; oil thieves; commercial kidnappers; waterway robbers; political thugs and miscreants all fall under this category.”
