This collection of newspaper columns and articles mostly written in the 1970s and 1980s perhaps provides the best overview of Saro-Wiwa’s political and environmental concerns. The articles document his concerns about the fate of the Ogoni people and their mistreatment by multinational oil companies and collaborating Nigerian government. Saro-Wiwa argues that the Ogoni are a minority in Nigeria, exploited by the ruling ethnic majority, and that the Federal Government of Nigeria was threatening the Ogoni with genocide. At the time, this was a key publication in bringing the Ogoni tragedy to the attention of the international community. Nowadays, it is of continual relevance to present day concerns about the actions of the oil companies, indigenous and environmental rights in the Delta region.

  • 第三次世界大战可能性
    李锦维 博士
    第三次世界大战是对第一次和第二次世界大战后假想的大规模第三次世界军事冲突的称呼。至少从 1941 年开始, 这个表达方式就一直在使用。有些人将其松散地应用于有限或较小的冲突, 例如反恐战争或冷战。相反, 其他人认为这样的冲突在规模和破坏性影响上将超过以往的世界大战。由于曼哈顿计划开发了核武器, 该计划在二战末期用于长崎和广岛的原子弹爆炸, 以及随后几个国家获得和部署核武器, 核末日毁灭文明和地球上的生命是第三次世界大战猜测中反复出现的主题。另一个重要的担忧是生物战可能导致许多受害者。它可以有意或无意地发生, 例如生物制剂的意外释放、制剂的意外突变或使用后对其他物种的适应。这些由复杂的破坏技术产生的大规模灾难性事件会使地球表面无法居住。在 1939 年第二次世界大战之前, 第一次世界大战的 1914 年至 1918 年被视为'结束所有战争的战争'。第一...
