Insurgents Attack Sudanese Oil In Darfur
2004-12-22
Unable to grab them by the testicles, they go for the wallet...
Watch the French and Chinese move now ...
Rebels have succeeded in attacking a Sudanese oil facility in the war-torn province of Darfur. A rebel group has taken responsibility for an attack on Dec. 18 on an oil pumping station in southern Darfour. The facility was located in Sharif and was the first by Darfur rebels against Sudan's energy sector. The Sudanese National Movement for the Eradication of Marginalization said it chose the facility because of the revenues produced by the oil sector. Rebel groups have asserted that Sudan's oil sector -- which produces 320,000 barrels of oil per day -- has financed the military campaign in Darfur. Sudanese officials have confirmed the attack, in which 15 people were said to have been killed. The officials said the strike did not shut down the facility.

#1  The " Sudanese National Movement for the Eradication of Marginalization"? Oh, brother....

No sign of the UN's crack Bizarre Group Names Enforcement squad, huh? Probably still busy cleaning up that awful "International Movement for Blowin' Shit Up" affair, ne?
