Human rights controversies

This section ignores several aspects of the conflict in the Niger Delta, that for the sake of WP:NPOV should be included. Namely the role of the government, violent attacks by militants on Shell employees and installations, the role of international pressure groups that prefer to target Shell and other MNEs rather than the less responsive Nigerian government. And so on. Stepopen (talk) 16:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this edit [1]: We cannot treat the claims of the Greenpeace report as a fact, in particular given that this report is mainly concernced about Brazil and does not even footnote the corresponding section. Furthermore, talking of Shells "activities" and MOSUP opposition emphasizes only the point of view of MOSOP as an opposition and advocacy group. Shells point view is differently here, as Shell sees MOSOP and similar groups as "extortionary, violent and secessionary". Which point of view is right or not is not Wikipedias business, in particular as there is evidence and good reasons for both points of view. Hence we should treat them symmetrically and paint MOSUP as simply opposing Shells activities. Stepopen (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Shell Oil role in Nigerian civil war

Why no mention that Shell Oil is a root cause of Nigerian civil war? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.28.176.175 (talk) 10:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
