Is Your Mutual Fund Funding Genocide?



Sudan is a poor country by many standards, and it likely would not be able to fund genocide in Darfur on its own. To continue its campaign of death and destruction, it turns to its considerable oil supplies.

Sudan does not have the technology to exploit these oil resources itself, so the government invites international companies to do so instead. In return for the right to extract oil, Sudan receives millions of dollars from these companies, as much as 70 percent of which is used to finance the country’s military.

The military, in turn, arms, trains, and provides military support to the Janjaweed militia to conduct its campaign of murder, destruction, torture, and rape.

These Companys Are:

Franklin Templeton (USA)
JP Morgan Chase (USA)
Capital Group/American Funds (USA)
Fidelity (USA)
Vanguard (USA)
PetroChina (China)
CNPC (China)
Sinopec (China)
ONGC (India)
Petronas (Malaysia)
Lundin Petroleum (Europe)

Please People, Divest! There is no amount of money somebody should be payed for the death of another!

Peace In Darfur!

We Can Change The World!

P.S.- The U.S. investor Warren Buffett may have sold all of his 2.3 billion shares in PetroChina, the country’s biggest oil producer, after the stock gained more than sevenfold since he first invested in it, JP Morgan Chase said.
