How US Investors Could Stop The Darfur Genocide

Mia Farrow and Jody Williams provide possible explanations in Opinion Journal for the ongoing violence in Darfur. According to Ms. Farrow and Ms. Williams, one of the primary reasons is the investment of US-based investment funds such as Fidelity in companies like PetroChina or Sinopec. These companies are subsidiaries of the Chinese National Petroleum Company (CNPC), which is exporting about 50%-80% of Sudan’s oil to mainland China. If investors such as Warren Buffett would put pressure upon CNPC to use its leverage to stop the atrocities, China might actually do so.
