Rebels. They are violently protesting Americans and other big oil companies around the world from exploiting their natural resources.
My fiance went to work over there for a few jobs. People come in from all over the world to reap the benefits of their oil stocks. They have plentiful resources...yet the country is in severe poverty. They don't see the wealth from it...only the country's leaders do. It makes them rebel. Unfortunately...it's in a violent manner.

just normal poor people. its not all their fault. they don't get any benefit from oil that belongs to the country even though they are nigerian. they have to pay alot of money for gas for living during winter or burners. but the government doesn't care about them freezing or dying. So here is that question. They have to die 'cause they were born poor? or they have to let their children
suffer from the fear of death to frozen or hunger even though
the government does nothing for the people, just selling oil to abroad and taking money for only themselve?
