US pleads to Nigeria FG to reach terms with Niger Delta Militants......is it a good idea?

The United States of America (USA) has
called on the Federal Government to
dialogue with militants in the Niger
Delta region.
This is coming after the British government’s
call on the government to call the Niger Delta
Avengers to the talking table.
The US mission in Nigeria also said it
supports any step that will lead to resolution
of the crisis in the oil rich region.
A statement issued by the US embassy in
Abuja on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, said "We
encourage all parties to resolve their disputes
through peaceful means and emphasise that
human rights of all Nigerians must be
protected.
“We continue to call on all Nigerians to
persevere in efforts to achieve common goals:
to end violence and curb the activities of
criminal elements; to establish conditions
and mechanisms for profound, positive, and
lasting changes in the region; and to provide
economic opportunity and needed services
for residents of the Niger Delta.”
The Niger Delta Avengers have attacked
offshore infrastructure belonging to oil
majors » Shell, ENI and Chevron, vowing to
reduce output to zero in what is typically
Africa's largest oil exporter.
