Sudan Energy Minister Awad al-Jaz told reporters in Khartoum an oil field was found in southern Darfur and it is expected to produce 500,000 barrels of oil per day by August.
When there were just hundreds of thousands dead, it wasn't very interesting. Now that there is the potential for oil, it is a whole new ball game.

Susan, I had no idea, but it only took a few minutes with Google to find this. It's horrifying.
"Although oil generates US $30,000 per year for every one of the Equatorial Guinea's 500,000 inhabitants - giving the country a gross domestic product per capita equivalent to that of Switzerland or Denmark - life expectancy remains low at 49 and less than half the population have access to clean drinking water, according the UN Human Development Index."
