waterlily (OP) User ID: 51323695 United States 12/21/2013 02:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Remember that China has been deep into Sudan for a long time. South Sudan, the world's youngest nation and rich in oil reserves, became independent from Sudan two years ago after a civil war that killed more than two million people between 1983-2005. [link to www.channelnewsasia.com] *** China to evacuate S Sudan oil workers to capital BEIJING: National Petroleum Company, a main oil investor in South Sudan, is evacuating oil workers to the capital, Juba, amid continued fighting in the world’s newest country, a company official and state media said on Friday. State news agency Xinhua said CNPC planned to fly out 32 workers. “We are arranging the orderly evacuation of our workers, but the affected oilfield was not operated by CNPC,” said a CNPC media official, without commenting on whether the company’s oil production was affected. Xinhua said an oilfield in the northern part of South Sudan, operated by a consortium of Indian, Malaysian and South Sudanese companies, was caught up in unrest on Thursday that killed 14 South Sudanese oil workers. China’s Foreign Ministry said that the embassy there would help evacuate Chinese nationals.

A resident of Gabat on the eastern bank of the Nile said that they have seen many bodies floating on the river. The sightings have been less frequent since fighting in the capital eased, but are still continuing. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, an eyewitness who visited the area to check on his family since the fighting broke out in the town said that he too saw five bodies being taken by the water northward. “It is not good to see what I saw – five bodies taken away by running water,” he said. “I cannot tell if the bodies were for soldiers or civilians.” |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49140612 United States 12/21/2013 03:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sudan is the home of the Kushites, a pyramid-building people of ancient times. They are African people who are simply sick of the misappropriation and sell-off of their most valuable resources by countries like the U.S., France, Belgium, UK., etc.) Sudan is a nation long ago chosen to be destabilized by American interest in the region--for this reason the Arabs were hired (and armed) as mercenaries to murder the Dinka, when prior to that they traded togther in cattle, horses, etc. This is what happens all over Africa, all of the time--take note: Officials are bribed. Puppet government is placed through "democratic" means in a voting "Republic." Military is armed to support puppet government; U.S. military and/or NATO/U.N. base established, civilians come to prop up control of resources (in this case, oil). Resource is pirated, people in the nation suffer under rule of greedy government which grows on the profit like a parasite. In order to maintain control, violence grows, poverty ensues. Tribal groups and general populace become disgruntled, until finally, shit hits the fan. Puppet Government is eventually toppled by people's militia and everything is blamed on "tribal disputes" in the media. General chaos ensues as militia fires on U.S. military aircraft attempting to evacuate civilians (14,000 is alot of civilians in Sudan). Eventually, things quiet down as members of the newest regime emerge to become leaders and tribal leaders become officials. Officials are bribed. Puppet government emerges. Wash, rinse, repeat. |

waterlily (OP) User ID: 51323695 United States 12/21/2013 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some background: "South Sudan’s oil fields have historically been a target for rebel movements and Copeland said armed opposition groups appeared to be in control of some oil fields in Unity state. “The potential for oil wealth to exacerbate the current power struggle should not be underestimated,” said Emma ----snip----- Vickers of Global Witness, a London—based group that investigates and campaigns to prevent natural resource related conflict. “If rebel forces were to capture the oil fields, they could effectively hold the government to ransom.” The United Nations said Friday that 35,000 people continue to seek refuge at U.N. bases in three locations across the country, including 20,000 at two bases in the capital. Several hundred people were also seeking shelter in Bentiu. The U.S. Embassy had a fifth emergency evacuation flight on Friday to move Americans out of the country. British, German and Dutch planes were also scheduled to fly out. Hundreds of foreigners, including aid workers, have hurriedly left South Sudan this week at the urging of foreign embassies concerned about the possibility of out-of-control violence. Forty-five U.S. troops were dispatched to Juba earlier this week to protect U.S. citizens and property. A top U.N. official in the country, Toby Lanzer, said Friday that “difficulties” continued in Jonglei including Bor, where a top military commander loyal to Machar defected from the army this week, taking his troops with him. South Sudan gets nearly 99 percent of its government budget from oil revenues. The country reportedly earned $1.3 billion in oil sales in just five months this year, Global Witness said."
