The two sides agreed Wednesday to temporarily halt to the violence. The militia group threatened on Tuesday to target foreign oil firms and their international workers starting Friday, Nigeria's 44th anniversary of independence from Britain, nudging crude oil prices to the historic peak of over $50 per barrel in global markets." I wonder if the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force will begin selling stock shares soon? In all seriousness though, watch out for China and African Oil. Somehow I think they are at the bottom of this. |
