To mark Democracy Day in Nigeria on Thursday, President Bola Tinubu posthumously pardoned human activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and other members of the Ogoni Nine, a group of activists from the oil-rich Niger Delta executed by the military junta in 1995. The World’s Carol Hill heard from Noo Saro-Wiwa, a writer and the daughter of the Ken Saro-Wiwa. She says the pardon is a step in the right direction, but falls short of the exoneration her family has long sought.
