Legacies of Saro-Wiwa

¡Ken Saro-Wiwa, Presente!

The Ogoni Nine, leaders of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), have been gone for 29 years after government officials lynched them at the behest of corporate tyrants from Shell Oil. Saro-Wiwa said:

I am more dangerous dead.

His assassination and lynching radicalized me as a teenager.

no murió, se multiplicó

Saro-Wiwa was the Berta Cáceres Flores during my high school years. He was a voice for and a leader of the Ogoni, just as she was a voice for the Lenca and a leader with COPINH.
