Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo: Oil Must Not Be a Weapon
Since its establishment 60 years ago, OPEC is constantly pursuing two goals, Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, Director General of the organization, says. First, it tries to depoliticize oil, prevent it from being a weapon, a tool of manipulation. Second, it works to separate the organization from the geopolitical context of a single moment. Oil is an energy resource, he believes, and as such belongs to all the people in the world.
