Thanks, that was eye-opening. It also confirmed for me that no matter what people "pledge", the world will never be freed from its addiction to oil. The balance of power and it's greedy pockets are far too delicate to be tampered with over something as silly as clean air or global warming.
The oil business is relatively new to the African scene, outside of Nigeria.....Africa was a major Cold War playground....from Angola to the Horn of Africa..arms were "sold' (I doubt that the seller every really got paid)...sides chosen....then chosen again....this was about global empire...whether it be Soviet or American.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
