在最近试图解释叛乱的背景下，在尼日尔三角洲的“贪婪”的激进组织，本文认为，叛乱可以最好地解释通过检查激进组织的社会起源。关注瓦里的Ijaw的情况下，从其中的尼日尔三角洲解放运动（MEND）出现，文章试图表明，叛乱是长期的政治和社会文化边缘化的经验的结果。激进组织的出现是由于国家和石油公司在过去几十年中未能对和平抗议作出反应。
Against the background of recent attempts to explain insurgency in the Niger Delta in the context of the “greed” of militant groups, this article argues that insurgency can best be explained by examining the social origins of militant groups. Focusing on the case of the Ijaw of Warri, from among whom the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) emerged, the article seeks to demonstrate that insurgency is the consequence of longstanding experiences of political and social-cultural marginalization. Militant groups emerged as a result of the failure of the state and oil companies to respond to peaceful protests in previous decades.
