Thumbs up Mend Ceasefire

Captain Buck,

Your information, though probably from the same source as mine, has now been overtaken by another statement from MEND

Subject: MEND Unilateral Ceasefire

Effective 12 midnight on Tuesday, June 24, 2008, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) will be observing a unilateral ceasefire in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria until further notice.

We are respecting an appeal by the Niger Delta elders to give peace and dialogue another chance.

Jomo Gbomo
How long this ceasefire may last has not been stated and nor is there any indication for the real reason for it. Maybe the next few days will reveal more
