SOMALIA: Genel Energy Suspends Somalia Operations

Security concerns in Somaliland have led Genel Energy, the exploration company run by former BP Chief Executive, Tony Hayward to withdraw its staff from the country. The devastating attack of the Somalia-based Islamist group Al-Shabaab on Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre in late September have increased security fears within the country.

A spokesman of the company told African Energy that "in the face of a deteriorating security situation, we are temporarily suspending our seismic operations".
