Abstract
The article briefly describes current economical and ecological condition of the Southern Nigeria - delta of Niger River (Niger Delta, ND). There is also a short review of different protest movements in the Niger Delta. The author analyzes reasons of the radicalization of protests in this region and the origin of the militant movement - Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).Sources of financing, of weapons supply and special features of MEND are considered. There is also an analysis of the de-escalation process in ND with focusing on the Amnesty Program of 2009 and the post- amnesty period in this region. The author investigates some perspectives of ceasing fire and peace-making process in the south of Nigeria.
