LAGOS (AFP) - samedi 14 avril 2007 - 10h51 - Sept policiers ont été tués tôt samedi matin par des inconnus qui ont pris d'assaut deux commissariats à Port Harcourt, la ville pétrolière du sud du Nigeria, a confirmé à l'AFP le porte-parole de la police de la ville Irju Barasua.
Un précédent bilan officiel avait fait état de six morts.

L'attaque s'est produite quelques heures avant l'ouverture du scrutin national pour élire les gouverneurs et les parlements locaux des 36 Etats de la fédération.

Selon des habitants et un observateurs électoral, des hommes armés ont attaqué et brûlé les postes de police de Mino Okoro et Elelenwo.

Selon le chef de la police de l'Etat de Rivers, Felix Ogbaudu, "quelques prisonniers ont été libérés".

Selon une source industrielle, qui n'a pas été plus précisément identifiée, cinq policiers auraient été blessés au cours de cette double attaque menée entre 01H30 et 03H30 (00H30 GMT et 02H30 GMT) par environ 16 hommes à bord de deux véhicules.

La violence est récurrente dans le sud pétrolier du Nigeria depuis plus d'un an, où des dizaines d'étrangers ont été enlevés soit par des bandes de malfaiteurs désireux de les échanger contre rançon soit par des groupes de militants qui réclament une meilleure répartition des ressources pétrolières dans la région du delta du Niger.

Premier producteur africain et sixième exportateur mondial d'or noir, le Nigeria a perdu environ 4,4 milliards de dollars en 2006 en raison de la chute de la production causée par ces troubles.

You are Welcome! Panaafrica.

Give me one reason not to admit that This Election is dame failure? and instead of improving on out national issues, we are having a hike to decadency, Still need better grammar to qualify that, cheesy
Re: Onslaught In Port Harcourt,another Unnecessary Killing by panafrican(m): 6:58pm On Apr 15, 2007
The most striking thing about elections  across the world in general and accross africa in particular  is people are killing each other to help so and so rise to power,but  once those guys get  into the executive mansion, the  rivers continue to run under the same old bridges.

For French  Grammar don't worry it is simple .Just know the main difference between " masculin et  feminin" and remember adjectives come after the object in French.
 
A simple example :

English :  A blue pen

French :   Un bic bleu.


Send  the 25 bucks  by Western Union. cool
We will be back.
