Burundi's forgotten victims - online petition for an end to impunity

By and large, Burundi's elite is content to allow the killers to kill with impunity. My family is campaigning for justice for all of Burundi's forgotten victims.  http://www.petitiononline.com/Burundi/

Pipeline Politics

21-08-2003 12:57

US foreign policy is determined by access to and control of resources, mainly oil, but not exclusively so, and access to markets. Dependent as it is on Middle East oil, US has sought to diversify supply.
