As citied by an article by VoA News, The Nigerian Government has decided to re-launch the amnesty program for Militants who decide to turn in their weapons. Along with this plan, the government is also planning on rehabilitating former militants to ease their re-integration into normal society. Ex-militants will be given vocational training as well as monetary assistance to set up businesses.
It has been reported that the previous amnesty programs have had positive results such as reduced violence within the Niger Delta region.
This is a step forward for Nigeria in regard to trying to establish stability within the country.
If this program does indeed succeed in significantly reducing violent within the area, it may just be enough to keep Royal Dutch Shell from leaving Nigeria and in turn, keep Nigeria from falling into economic and political turmoil.
