that has been responsible for the attacks on oil facilities and
pipelines, recently indicated their readiness to dialogue with the
President. In a statement posted on their official website
, their
spokesman Mudoch Agbinibo has said that for a good dialogue to proceed
favourably, the conditions set by the government must be right.
He said that deliberations and consideration can only be made room
for if the grounds were clear for such. He also added that all the
avengers wanted from the government was a display of genuine attitude.
In the statement, the group also made it clear that they did not want
any politically minded mediators to be involved in the negotiations.
"We want the federal government to commit
members states of the multi national oil
corporations employ the use of independent mediators to
this proposed dialogue; we believed that it is only
such environment that will engender genuine
dialogue that will be aimed at setting up a
framework for achieving the short, medium and
long term demands of the Niger delta to de-
escalating this conflict and bring about a lasting
peace."
The group said that for the mean while as the government gets
itself ready for negotiations, they will continue their attacks on on

"The NDA high command is re stating our
commitment to attack the interest of oil
corporation and international refineries operators
that bring in vessels to the Niger delta territory to
buy our oil that every successive government
have refused to used and reapply the proceeds
towards any development in the region since
1958. If they refuse to heed to our advice, it will
result to sinking of two of their mother vessel as an
examples to others They should not undertake
any repair of pipeline, oil and gas facilities that is
damaged or attacked by our forces during this
period of "Operation Red Economy" until and/or
after the dialogue."
