摘要

Marooned off Africa's western coast, the 150,000 people of Sao Tome e Principe scrape a living from cocoa, fish, aid and tourism. But oil firms, sniffing with seismic ships, think billions of barrels may lie beneath the island-state's territorial waters. Oil could change everything in this former Portuguese colony. This week, for instance, the president, Fradique de Menezes, sacked a parliament that had been planning to curb some of his powers―including his power to negotiate oil deals. An election will be held in April. "People are not ready [for oil]. It could be dangerous," says Guilherme Posser da Costa, a former prime minister. A look at two of Sao Tome's neighbours, who are both small and oil-rich, suggests he is right to fret. In Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish cocoa colony, and Gabon, a French-dominated oil emirate, oil has done little to ease poverty or lengthen life, and much to corrupt politics.
