Why do these articles make what is going on in Africa seem like a mystery that people cannot understand. Foreigners and their companies are doing what they have always been doing, raping the land of its resources with little or no concern to the local populations or the environment. The environmental groups are an arm of the same foreign entities who want to control Africa's land for their own benefit, not for the environment and not for Africans. These companies are doing what they have been doing for the last 300 years and they will pay off local government officials to look the other way while most of the profits, resources and benefits flow out of the country and the African populations stay dirt poor. There is no mystery here, it is simply a deliberate act to stop Africans from benefiting from their own resources. Africans wont be trained or educated to operate their own mines, refineries or construction companies. Africans won't be trained as engineers or scientists to study and understand how to use their resources for their own benefit. None of this oil is going to go into African cars or generators to produce energy. None of this petroleum will be used for asphalt and other materials needed in infrastructure. Even as all of these things are the reason for the demand of the oil resources in the first place, none of these things will produced for the consumption of the African people. There is no mystery here it is the same old game of colonial exploitation and subjugation.
