"Why us, why Sudan?" Oil companies have operated for years in places such as Nigeria and Angola, where oil revenues have fueled civil wars. And Talisman has operated in human rights hotspots such as Algeria and Indonesia for years, So, why is Sudan being singled out? IMHO, the answer is: The American religious right is touting Sudan as the front line between Islam and Christianity. Charles Jacobs, president of the American Anti-Slavery Group recently said: "Investors in Talisman should be aware that they have been made inadvertent partners to slavery and slaughter in Sudan". The American Anti-Slavery Group and other so called anti-slavery groups support the SPLA guerilla. SPLA is responsible for slavery according to a Sudan report released by U.S. Department of State (see state.gov ) My conclusion: the anti-slavery groups and Christian solidarity groups are partners to slavery and slaughter in Sudan. Not inadvertently but willingly. Because the SPLA is predominantly Christian, and they are fighting a Muslem regime. That's what counts.
