while pretending to be a "humanitarian"
According to Walter Kansteiner, US Under-secretary of State for African affairs, African oil "has become a national strategic interest". Ed Royce, the influential Republican senator for California and chairman of the Congress African subcommittee, maintains "African oil should be treated as a priority for US national security post 9-11" . Congress and the White House have yet to make this strategy official.
![Click on image to see full-sized version cameroon.jpg](../cache/imagecache/local/attachments/aug2004/460_0___30_0_0_0_0_0_cameroon.jpg) During the presidential election campaign the little Bush said, "there is a firm economic basis for US interest in the continent (Africa)." . The UN Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) estimates Africa's total oil reserves as 80bn barrels, 8% of the world's crude reserves. According to National Intelligence Council forecasts, the US could be importing as much as 25% of its oil from central Africa by 2015 .
With output of more than 4m barrels a day, sub-Saharan Africa already produces as much as Iran, Venezuela and Mexico combined.
Sudan, which started exporting oil three years ago, now outputs 186,000 barrels a day.
Nigeria, Africa's leading exporter of crude oil, is set to increase daily output from 2.2m to 3m barrels, rising to 4.42m by 2020.
By 2020 Angola it is expected to double output to 3.28m barrels a day.
Equatorial Guinea currently holds the record (alongside Angola) for oil prospecting permits.
The Gulf of Guinea, with estimated reserves of 24bn barrels.
The Chad-Cameroon pipeline will carry a further 250,000 barrels a day to the Atlantic.
Sudan has long been a target for foreign oil bloodsuckers and their lies about "Arab militias" and "ethnic cleansing" are as real as their "weapons of mass destruction" lies. The truth is that the western intelligence agencies including Mossad have been stirring unrest near Sudan's massive oil fields and pipeline in order to destabilise the Islamic government and steal their oil. Chad which is also vital to US and western oil interests is next door to Sudan, a country which the US has declared it wants to invade to "fight terrorists". Sudan and it's Islamic people pose a major problem for the entire African pipe dream. And Christian/Zionist Crusaders find an added motivation in seeing it's Islamic people die in great numbers.
The Chad-Cameroon pipeline was conceived in 1996 with support from the Clinton administration and developed by an international consortium, with ExxonMobile holding a 40 percent stake, Malaysia's Petronas 35 percent, and ChevronTexaco 25 percent. Funded in part by the World Bank (3%), the oil pipeline project is , "aimed at developing West African oil as an alternative to Mideast supplies" . Backers say daily production will hit 250,000 barrels at peak and revenues could reach $2 billion for Chad and $500 million for Cameroon over the projected 25-year production period.
June 23rd, 2004: India's ONGC Videsh Ltd started talks to buy the 35% stake of French petroleum major Total S.A. in an onshore oil exploration block in Sudan's Muglad basin, investing close to $750 million in constructing a product pipeline from Khartoum refinery to Port Sudan and in revamping the Port Sudan refinery. The deal was signed with the Sudanese government on July 2nd 2004, while we were all being shown pictures of Africans on camels supposedly being "Arabs" and engaged in "ethnic cleansing". Did you fall for it?
January 2004, Sudan's estimated proven reserves of crude oil stood at 563 million barrels, more than twice the 262 million barrels estimated in 2001. By June 2004, Sudanese crude oil production was averaging about 345,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), up from 270,000 bbl/d during 2003.
June 28th, 2004: The Sudanese Minister of Energy and Mining, Dr. Awad Ahmed Al-Jaz, announced that the country's oil production will increase to 500,000 barrels per day during the coming year.
July 29th, 2004: The Russian company Stroitransgaz will take part in the construction of oil pipeline in Sudan. Stroitransgaz has won the tender for construction of the 366-kilometre-long section of the oil pipeline Melut Basin Oil Development Project.
The Institute for advanced strategic and political studies is the group involving CIA and Mossad who advise the US government on African developments and then , some would say, to institute actions on the ground with spies and mercenaries bribing, corrupting and murdering their way to ,"achieving their full potential".
http://www.iasps.org/
IASPS is a think-tank set up in Jerusalem in 1984 and has close links with the Likud party. In January 2002 IASPS organised a symposium attended by members of the Bush administration , Lt-Col Karen Kwiatkowksi, an airforce officer seconded to the defence secretary and senior executives from oil firms and investment funds. The meeting marked the start of the African Oil Policy Initiative Group (AOPIG) set up to interface between private and public sectors and agencies to, implement (terrorist) actions, global propaganda and the hiring of mercenaries to push through US policy on the ground in Africa.
What you see on television is the result of these people and not some "Arab militia". They are liars, thieves, corrupters and murders who have only their own interests at heart. They will leave Africa in dust and death to fill their oil tankers.
