Dear Log,
«The Goliath in the case - ChevronTexaco - has been forced to promise jobs, electricity and other improvements to villages in the Niger Delta after 600, mainly Itsekiri tribeswomen stormed the company's huge Escravos oil terminal, bringing it to a standstill for 10 days.The activists, aged from 30 to 90, were led by a core group of middle-aged women affectionately known as "the mamas". And they had one simple but effective weapon: they threatened to remove all their clothes. The gesture, known as "the curse of nakedness", is a traditional way of shaming people and remains as potent as ever.»
Naked 90 year old women might be an effective threat.
