Razorback, hello

Is this the article / group that's causing all the ruckus with Lundin right now? Or is it some other advocacy group?

Sure seems light on specifics:

Thousands of villages have been destroyed ...
Which villages? Name a few, eh?

One general has boasted that Sudan ... Which general? The journalist put his comments in quotes, but doesn't name him.

Ahh crap. Seems like Time magazine has set the tone for a generation of irresponsible lowest-common-denominator journalism. But what do I know? I'm still holding arakis.

Regards to all,
Aggie

Razorbak, The rate of mass murder,slaughter, rape, and slave trade has increased exponentially in the Sudan in the last six months- and 90% of it is centered right around Talisman's, Lundin's, and Total's oil concessions.

I personally believe that the Talisman management is complicit in these war crimes/human rights violations,and have been advocating on my own behalf to my friends in the US Government and UN in New York that Talisman's, Lundins' etc. management should be brought to justice and tried before a UN Human Rights tribunal just like the Bosnian war criminals, etc....

I just read Lundin's latest statement on the Sudanese affairs and it can only be called a joke. Note though that Lundin is a Swedish Company and that the Swedes openly sold iron ore to the Nazis in WWII in order to support the Nazi war effort while the Nazis murdered millions in Europe 1937-1945. So Lundin's attitudes in the Sudan can be seen as just more of the same from Sweden (Heck- The name of the CEO for Lundin is even Adolf)....
