Sudan's oil - Letter to The Economist, May 19-25 issue SIR Your article on Sudan ("War, famine and oil in Sudan", April 14th) draws needed attention to the plight of those forced to flee the fighting that has plagued the country for nearly 50 years. Unfortunately, you are wrong about the location of both the fighting and the oilfields, creating the impression that people are being forced to leave areas where we produce oil. In fact, since we invested in Sudan in 1999, there have been large population increases in our concession area as a result of economic development, community improvements and protection from warring factions. Your map shows Sudan's "main oilfields" extending far south of Bentiu, the capital of Unity state. Bentiu's true location is outside the extreme southern border of Sudan's main oilfields--the concession operated by the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company in which we own a 25% interest. You create the false impression that fighting and displacement of civilians is taking place in our areas of operation. It is because there is no fighting in these areas that we have been able to build roads, provide electricity and new water supplies, and build a hospital and clinics that give free medical care to hundreds of people each day.
