It seemed peace was to come to the Niger Delta but the fighting and oil sabotage has resumed. A powerful report filmed before the amnesty but with many participants sceptical the world remains as pertinent as ever.

A fisherman pulls an empty net from waters that have sustained his family for generations: "Because of oil spillage we can 't get fish to sustain ourselves, let alone to sell ." Despite the huge oil industry 90% of locals are unemployed. Frustration led many to fight, decimating Nigeria's oil output. Now policy is being scrutinised - senior officials question the lack of development in the Niger Delta; The way the oil companies have acted thus far is a little irresponsible . An amnesty was offered to militants willing to disarm. Some accepted but many were sceptical; Amnesty will not disarm the Niger Delta. It will only quell it .
