Tok,
Any guess how much of that 1.6 million barrels gets "stolen" before it gets to market? Are you still seeing tankers arrive and depart without Customs Agents making their "dash" run to the BOP?
At what point will the lack of oil flow cause a turf war amongst those that are wrongfully benefiting from that kind of activity?
If those in charge were smart they would include MEND as a partner in the racket and benefit from increased opportunity to siphon off more oil than is lost to MEND's efforts.
After all, Nigerian crude is "sweet" and in high demand worldwide.
To me it is a missed opportunity for all of the crooked rascals.
