Blood of Oil: China + Sudan (follow up of last blog)




After researching so much about the industry of Oil in Sudan I found a video on youtube about the first evidence of China sending militia equipment to Sudan's president. Many research has been found but this video explains it all.

"Sudan, with its vast oil reserves, sells most of its oil to Beijing. The Panorama team follows a trail through Chad and Darfur, tracking down Chinese military trucks, one of which with a mounted Chinese gun, had recently been used against civilians, according to local witnesses."


In order to get what they need they are using their own weapons as well if any conflict occurs. This problem alone has not costed an estimate of 300,000 lives.

Just added this year of July, the video shows what the deserts of Darfur really looks like. Many villages have been burned, all but erased from the face of the earth. From fighting the war, it destroys the land of these people.

I recommend everyone to watch this video. With up and close video and terrifying music, this video shows you facts and brings you in to what is really happening there.
