Protesters target Talisman - But local energy firm defends business in Sudan
Calgary Sun, July 1
By CP

TORONTO -- Talisman Energy Inc. of Calgary is sponsoring
genocide in Sudan, a group of protesters outside the Toronto
Stock Exchange said yesterday.

The oil and gas producer responded the group's view of the
conflict in the African country is "very simplistic" and
"development has to be better than the absence of development."

Sudan's government "is counting on the Canadian company
Talisman Energy to generate oil revenues for its continued military
campaigns against its own people," the Southern Sudanese
Community Organization of Greater Toronto said ahead of the
demonstration by about 50 people.

"Sudanese blood is on the hands of Canadians who
independently or through their mutual funds own Talisman Energy
shares," said spokesman Manock Lual, citing a figure of 1.9
million people killed in Sudan's civil strife since 1983.

He said the northern-based National Islamic Front government
plans to sustain a campaign of starvation, torture, slavery and
killing against Christian Sudanese by using revenue from drilling
operations and a pipeline from the south partly financed and
created by Talisman.

"Sudan is a very complex place," said Talisman president Jim
Buckee.

"It has suffered from war ... development gives the option of
moving forward."
