Good old forgotten Africa. Chad threw out an American and Malaysian oil
company. The underlying reason might be because they're looking for closer
ties with China. Not in the article: one reason why China might want more oil?
Because it relies heavily on coal, its major polluter. We are still the
world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
