Niger Delta Rebels Want Jimmy Carter?

Okay I guess it seems like a pretty good deal for oil prices anyway. Carter also mediated in 1999 but it didn't solve any of the problems. I guess Carter is turning into the go-to guy for terrorist organizations all over the world.

The rebel Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), whose campaign of violence helped lift oil prices to a new record on Tuesday, said Carter had accepted its offer to mediate in the conflict "on the condition that the Nigerian government and any other relevant stake holder invites him."
