Summary: Markers define the route of the pipeline between chad and cameroon. The pipe now rests hidden underground, but the human costs of the pipeline are plainly visable along the 1050 km route. Amnesty International has accused both governments and the private consortium of Human Rights Abuses. ExxonMobil leads a consortium of oil companies that have developed the Doba oil fields in the southern region of Chad. Other members of the consortium include Chevron Corporation (25 percent) and Petronas of Malaysia (35 percent).
