dépêche uniquement reprise par Le Monde, du moins sur le web
L'article du Monde est sybillin, par rapport à celui de la journaliste de GRIOO, bien plus explicite (ça mérite bien un coup de chapeau, non ? )
Je ne suis pas étonnée, car j'avais vu ces images de prise d'otage de ***rebelles*** Nigérians au JT la semaine dernière (un soir de distraction où la TV était allumée, par erreur ), et j'avais immédiatement eu l'impression d'être face à une vaste fumisterie
Des ***rebelles*** en train de danser la funana en cagoule noire impeccable, puis une petite balade dans la mangrove en barque avex eux... Manquait plus que ma grand-mère en string !
Hier soir, je suis tombée (par chance cette fois-ci ) sur l'itw en direct du Ministre de l'Information Nigerian, Franck NWEKE par CNN (grand fritage en direct ), qui confirmait que c'était du bidon, et menaçait de porter plainte.
Depuis, les soi-disant 24 otages philippins ont été relâchés (how come ? ) et CNN dément les accusations du gouvernement Nigerian (dép$eche CNN innaccessible pour le moment )
CNN n'en est, bien entendu, pas à son coup d'essai... CNN en espagnol avait fait fort, lors de la tentative de coup d'état manqué contre Chavez en avril 2002 : ils avaient enregistré par anticipation une déclaration de militaires félons, dénonçant les violences suite à la manifestation de l'opposition à Caracas... sauf que c'était avant même le départ de la manif !!! Info disponible pour tous dans le documentaire "The Revolution will not be televised" Le journaliste de CNN en charge du reportage avait démissionné, dégouté.
Bon, pour revenir au NIGERIA, si vous trouvez des articles sur cete affaire sur le web, postez-les, j'ai un peu de mal, moi _________________ "Le colonialisme et ses dérivés ne constituent pas à vrai dire les ennemis actuels de l'Afrique.

FG disagrees with CNN report on Niger Delta
By Grace Omoshaba, Reporter, Lagos
The Federal Government has said Cable News Network (CNN) report of Sunday was contrived with wrong evidences about the real situation at the Niger Delta region of the country. It said the report by Jeff Koinange left much to be desired.
Speaking in a television interview with the CNN, through the satellite, Minister of Information and Communications, Frank Nweke, who had just returned from a tour of the Niger-Delta area after the globally televised CNN report, condemned and disagreed with the report about the Niger Delta militants, adding the report was a void story that does not exist in the country.
"It was a contrived report by your correspondent, he paid all those people shown in the story to put up the show. However, he approached some other people but they declined the offer," Nweke alleged.
He also said the rebel story was very unethical and portrayed as if there was war and crisis in the country.
"We are aware of the two groups in the Niger Delta region. Some are the agitating groups while the others are mostly criminals, kidnappers, gunrunners and efforts are being made to curb them.
"But it is not enough reason for CNN to project the story with such fear and molestations, this is unacceptable as such a thing is not happening in Nigeria," he said.
He stressed that President Olusegun Obasanjo government has done a lot since its inception in 1999 by making progressive efforts in improving the Niger Delta condition and development, which was the reason for his (Nweke) recent tour to the region.
He added that the Federal Government is also making plans to get the kidnapped hostages released. _________________ "Le colonialisme et ses dérivés ne constituent pas à vrai dire les ennemis actuels de l'Afrique.

CNN denies Nigerian allegations of staging report

Story Highlights
• Minister: CNN paid for, staged gunmen holding Filipino hostages in Niger Delta
• "It was a paid job," Nigeria's Frank Nweke said, without offering evidence
• CNN and CNN's Africa correspondent Jeff Koinange flatly denied the charge
• CNN said it did not pay for any part of the report, nor does it pay for interviews
ABUJA, Nigeria (CNN) -- A Nigerian government spokesman on Monday accused CNN of paying for and staging a report that showed 24 Filipino hostages being held by masked gunmen in the remote mangrove swamps of southern Nigeria.
"We have evidence that some of these people were actually paid to put up a show," Nigerian Minister of Information Frank Nweke Jr. told CNN International about last week's report by Jeff Koinange, CNN's Africa correspondent.
"It was a paid job, and that's exactly why we are very upset about it," he said, without offering evidence.
"He had actually approached other people before then to do the same thing and his offer was declined. And he shopped around for more people and found those criminals who were willing to play ball with him and they put on the kind of show that they put up and which was shown around the world."
CNN and Koinange flatly denied the charge. In a written statement, CNN said it did not pay for any part of the report, nor does the network pay for interviews.
All 24 men, who worked aboard a cargo ship, were released on Tuesday, according to their employer, German shipping firm Baco Liner. (Full Story)
The report showed the hostages, seized January 20, seated on white plastic chairs, lined up in a row.
As dozens of militants, dressed in black and wearing black ski masks, danced and fired automatic weapons into the air, the hostages appeared immobilized by fear. (Watch Koinange's report, and a talk with CNN's Anderson Cooper about criticism of it))
"The government is trying to get them released," Nweke said. "But to make a show out of it in the way that your reporter did is unacceptable and, to our minds, undermines global efforts in the war on terror."
Nweke said he and his entourage had recently traveled through the Niger Delta and had seen projects intended to help the area's residents, such as health clinics and the construction of bridges, but witnessed none of the scenes shown in the report. (Watch as Nweke tells CNN's Jim Clancy why Nigeria believes the report was staged))
"You can imagine my surprise when I saw the kind of pictures that were put out on CNN portraying the situation of war and crisis in the Niger Delta," he said. "There was absolutely no correlation whatsoever with what we had on the ground and what CNN International put out there."
In denying the information minister's allegations, the network said that the only money that changed hands was the standard rental for a motorboat and captain -- about $700 -- and the standard fee to an area freelance journalist for his help in reporting and translation, about $150 per day for three days.
CNN said it will send a letter to Nweke asking him to provide any evidence to support his claims. If any credible evidence is forthcoming, CNN said it would report on that.
CNN crew goes to hideout in Niger Delta swamp
Members of the militant group, who said they were part of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, led CNN's crew to their hideout in a swamp in the Niger Delta. MEND has recently ratcheted up its battle to redress what it says is the unequal distribution of the nation's oil wealth.
Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer. In 2005, it was the world's sixth-largest exporter of oil, but the conflict there has cut distribution by an estimated 500,000 barrels per day, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
The militants are threatening to hurt the oil sector even more.
"We are going to descend on all foreign interests in the Nigerian economy, either in the river or in the land," Maj. Gen. Tamuno God's Will, the group's self-described leader, told CNN.
He said his group -- which claims 200,000 fighters -- will soon launch "Operation Black Locust," aimed at key installations across the country.
"We are telling all expatriates to leave Nigeria, not only the Niger Delta, but to leave Nigeria. We will take lives, we will destroy lives, we will crumble the economy," he said.
Since late 2005, MEND militants have carried out attacks on Nigeria's oil sector and abducted dozens of foreign workers, releasing nearly all of them unharmed.
But in recent months, the attacks have become more brazen and more frequent. Two car bombings were carried out at oil company compounds in southern Nigeria's largest port town of Port Harcourt on December 18, and in January alone, militants abducted more than 30 people.
"The security situation in the Niger Delta region has deteriorated significantly over the past year," the U.S. State Department said last month in a travel warning. "Travel to the region remains dangerous and should be avoided."
Militants want share of oil profits to go to locals
Gen. God's Will said his group is fighting because few of the billions of dollars being made off the oil-rich deposits of the Niger Delta make it back to the Nigerian people, especially those in the Delta, home to some of the world's poorest people.
More than 2 million barrels of crude oil is pumped out of Nigeria every day, according to the U.S. Energy Department. International oil giants including Shell, ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco, and oil service companies such as Schlumberger and Brazil's Petrobas have taken up residence in the Niger Delta.
The militant leader said his forces are in the middle of a "struggle for the liberation of the Niger Delta, the most devastated and the most threatened region in the world."
"Our fight is against everybody," he said.
Nigerian forces have struggled in the battle. The navy doesn't travel to the regions where CNN went because the waters are so dangerous, patrolled by armed militants in speed boats that quickly navigate through the shallow swamps, Koinange said.
But Nweke said the government of President Olusegun Obasanjo has made progress in the delta over the past seven years, building hundreds of classrooms and health centers and undertaking myriad road projects.
"We still have a long way to go," Nweke acknowledged. "But the point I'm making this afternoon is that we've come a long way from where we were in 1999 under the military."
