Would Gas Flaring End in January? [Nigeria]

...[O]il companies including Shell, ExxonMobil and TotalFinaElf continue to profit...while communities in the oil-rich areas live in a polluted environment where...gas...is burnt off into the atmosphere... Area Manager... [for] ExxonMobil...Kim Bates, cited insecurity in the Niger Delta region...as [a reason for] their proposal for a new target date...
