Oil brings death, war to southern Sudan

A report issued this week says hundreds of Sudanese civilians were being killed, raped and displaced in a "war for oil" that has gripped the vast African nation for the past three years. The report by Christian Aid, an international NGO, says human rights violations were being committed in the oil-rich areas of Sudan where both the government and oil companies were oblivious to the outcry of the outside world...The report goes further to name oil companies such as Canada's Talisman Energy, Sweden's Lundin Oil, Malaysia's Petronas and China's state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation as some business partners of the Sudanese government who are causing untold suffering in the southern part of the country.
