Oil from Africa

Ugandan Insomniac is still posting away. One of her recent posts mentions Poisoned Wells: The Dirty Politics of African Oil by Nicholas Shaxson. In the publisher's comments on this book I found this line:
Each week the oil and gas fields of sub-Saharan Africa produce well over a billion dollars' worth of oil, an amount that far exceeds development aid to the entire African continent.
While economic aid may be fueling corruption, it isn't the only fuel.
