The fortunes of the people of Chad, one of the world's poorest countries, are set to be transformed by a huge and lucrative oil pipeline that will transport oil from the country's new oil fields to a teminal off the coast of neighbouring Cameroon.
From there, tankers will ship the fuel to the world markets, thereby bolstering West Africa's role as an alternative fuel source to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
Such reduced dependence on oil from the Arab states was one of the key objectives of President George W Bush's African tour earlier this year.The 1,070 km pipeline will transport 250,000 barrels a day from Chad through Cameroon.
