The campaigns described in this issue of the Bulletin focus on human rights and environmental abuses; as Ian Gary notes in his article, most statements by Catholic Churches in Africa do not argue that natural resources should remain un-exploited, but that such exploitation should be done in a way that avoids environmental destruction, observes human rights principles and benefits the African people, especially the poor who live amidst such great wealth. Should African nations avoid extractive industries altogether, as Oxfam argues? We note that the communique of the two-day workshop on community resistance to oil activity, which was organized as part of the activities for the Oilwatch Africa General Assembly in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in 1999, which is reproduced in this Bulletin, does not call for an end to oil development
