How does oil in the Niger Delta represent a different opportunity for economic attack?
What will be an ideal response?
• Oil in the Niger Delta represents a different opportunity for economic attack as it simultaneously funds terrorists and other violent groups while serving as a target for terrorism.
• Dilapidated storage facilities and pipelines have become an ecological disaster for the impoverished local residents.
• The result is an environment that encourages sub-national violence and that might serve as a base for international terrorism.
• The energy environment in Africa represents an interesting paradox.
• If poverty, endemic terrorism, and criminalized politics are not addressed by the industrial world, areas like the Niger Delta will evolve in two directions.
• They will become the base for the emergence of new international terrorist groups, providing excellent resources for training and eluding detection.
• At the same time, the energy resources in the delta provide a target-rich environment for terrorists.
