Things in the Niger Delta are starting to calm down a bit now that the President has ordered the military to stop bombing Ijaw villages while negotiations go ahead for the release of the hostages.
Many of the flow stations and gas plants in the areas to the south and east of Warri have now been manned up again and it's business as normal, except for the large military presence at most of the swamp locations. However, if MEND attack in the numbers they have in their recent 'swarm' attacks, I wouldn't expect the military resistance at any of the sites to last more than a few minutes - they're mostly about as much use as a cold hot water bottle in a blizzard
