Allafrica: Oil companies complicit in massive Sudan crimes says report

International oil companies in Sudan share full responsibility with the
Sudanese government for the displacement of hundreds of thousands of
civilians from oil concession areas, as well as countless other human
rights abuses, according to the advocacy group Human Rights Watch. Oil
company executives had "turned a blind eye" to well-reported government
attacks on civilians and civilian targets, including aerial bombings of
hospitals, churches, relief operations and schools, it said in a new
report entitled Sudan, Oil and Human Rights.
