I am following an informative and interesting 4-part documentary series on Al Jazeera called The Secret of the Seven Sisters. It reveals the details of a secret pact that was made by the seven biggest oil companies in the world to control the industry to maximize their profits. To achieve this goal these comapanies: Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell, Mobile, Chevron, Gulf, British Petroleum (BP) and Texaco, control and manipulate the political and economic arenas of nations. In Episode 2 below, it discusses their fiendish pursuits for African oil: The Black El Dorado.

I’ve long been aware of Royal Dutch Shell and their perfidy in the Niger Delta and their murders of Ijaw and Ogoni activists such as Ken Saro-wiwa. I did not know about this Petro Junta though; thank you Asa for bringing this to our attention!
