Jul 28, 2004 USA/Africa: Oil and Transparency
Two recent U.S. Senate hearings have highlighted issues related to
oil and transparency in West and Central Africa. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee has focused on the options for U.S. support for
transparency in strategic oil-rich countries in the Gulf of Guinea
region, including Nigeria, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea. The
Committee on Governmental Affairs, on the other hand, has focused
on the less often discussed role of American banks and companies in
fostering lack of transparency, with a detailed expose of a
prominent Washington bank's role in managing suspect accounts for
the leaders of Equatorial Guinea.
