That is the point Taboon. They are not one of the top four players. They are negotiating with the top players: Africa, China - I bet you it is not Hanlong that is the key here, (although they would have put a major spanner in the works re other paries - whether that be Chinese or other) my guess is the Chinese/African relationship. SDL needs African support to get the permits. Africa has close ties with China. Do you know who is building Kribi? Guess who signed co-operation agreements with the Chinese - yes, Paul Biya. Guess who fronts the project for Mbalam?

Comments about management lining their pockets is offensive.
