The article is reporting that on the 25th the Nigerian military raided a militant camp in Rivers near the high violence area of the Niger Delta. A military spokesman has said that the attack did result in a heavy gunfire exchange that left numerous militants dead but the military ultimately destroyed the campsite with no casualties. In addition to that attack, a second raid was conducted on a different camp in Delta State that had similar outcomes with retrieving large amounts of both ammunition and arms from the camps. The attacks are part of a new effort by the government to stop the violence in the area. This article relates to what we have been learning in class by demonstrating how the government is being accountable for the violence and taking the initiative to make the effort in stopping the current situation in the Delta. Also, it shows that the government is using military force to stop the putting down the violence by the interest groups that, for the majority, are fighting for an more equal distribution of the oil wealth in Nigeria.
