Sudan- Who's Oil?

IKV PAX Christi, as part of the Fatal Transactions campaign, is a member of the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan (ECOS). The European Coalition on Oil in Sudan is a group of over 80 European organizations working for peace and equitable development in Sudan.

Africa’s natural riches does not deliver peace and sustainable development. Sudan is a case in point. A handful of companies is cashing in annual profits of billions of dollars; roughly 25% of total production value disappears out of the country that way. They have knowingly invested in a civil war and hundreds of thousands of people have been violently displaced and never received any form of compensation. The Sudanese state has no environmental laws enforcement mechanisms whatsoever, while the industry is running a purely cost driven operation in the midst of the world’s largest pristine wetlands.
