3:06 am
and some of the problems that we want to see from these companies, we want to see these governments and go to who shows uh, insurance from that being phase beverage and expect some things from the but we have another huh. we have a helping people. i see. i wish i a community where you and i can come in on say, if not i want to buy new phone. we tons of natural resources have become an issue for other african nations as well as a lot of fuels triggered long shoes in nigeria. but these are the cues and the countries capital a bu, just the oil, ex sporting nation repeatedly faces shortages after the government removed fuels subsidies last year. the move was originally intended to encourage oil imports for private companies, but have so far failed to overcome the national petroleum companies monopoly. to
3:07 am
the 1st batches of oil from these there have raged, been named semi crockett via the news air been in the pipeline. despite the us and the eco was sanctions on these are the pipeline was not only completed, but successfully ports until operation construction on the 2000 kilometer pipeline began in september 2019. now, after the change of power in new share, some predicted the actions of the new military government and the country and resulting eco laws in western sanctions, with severely hampered the projects implementation. but the pipeline was eventually commissioned in november by the military leaders was setting the state for the country to gain access to international oil markets using a port in the need for exports. new share produces approximately $20000.00 barrels of oil per day. so the chinese national petroleum cooperation with the construction of the mass of pipeline. this is expected to increase at least 5 full to $110000.00 barrels,
3:08 am
which is closer to the official target of increasing production 220-0000 per day and 2024. this initiative boost hopes for the creation of at least 2000 jobs and the west african nation. economic analyst as affordable car kado says western sanctions against needs. you have not only failed but have had the opposite effect is this is, this is the sanctions that we're taking ferris. the day after the cool french president, the chrome convened to security console with his sparks and as president our house now to our president smockey, solve the former senegalese president and the president. vinny. these are the 3 tactics the friends used against our country. they decided on sanctions that above all, are legal and not 1st seen in any document of either u e. m. o, a or eco was. it was friends that dictated them in order to damage our economy. they saw with this sanctions the people were going to revolt against the reasoning, but the people were tired and as to what was happening,
3:09 am
they prefer the suffering freedom then to be in slavery. so the people were resilient, ultimately the sanctions produced the opposite effect. the expected effect was not a chief congress and the sub region, particularly nigeria been in and even ivory coast. i'm signing go. where more effect as there are many commercial transactions which take place with them, we along with been in use the port of northern nigeria, the majority of the states of northern nigeria and charge you is the part of bidding. and molly, people change strategy. there are many for investors who participate in the construction of the pipeline is what happened just by the sanctions. notice that the oil route is not close. so despite this is our work sport, it's oil tubing. india is abandoning us oil and saber of imports from venezuela in just one month from january to february. this year, india imported more than $400000000.00 worth of venezuelan oil. that's according to
3:10 am
data from the indian ministry of commerce and industry analyzed by sputnik following, the relaxation of sanctions against caracas in autumn, 2023 and new delhi resumed oil purchases from venezuela. after a 3 year break, india stopped buying oil from krokus at the end of 2020. what the time venezuela was one of india's top of 10 oil suppliers. it is reported that oil experts from the us to india for the 1st 2 months of this year decreased more than 8 times. all right, well let's cross that live now to run garage. this went off in former indian ambassador to venezuela and best for good to have you on with us. i'd like to hear your thoughts on the economic significance of india's oil imports from venezuela, particularly in light of the recent decline and oil imports from other major suppliers such as the united states and. and both countries in india had a boat to a around 15 percent off. it's
3:11 am
a globally boards of good items from that into line. 241314. this was done as the bottom to be a part of the seal strategy day was certification off. while i input this in the boards on was 90 percent of the sco riding photos uh, flooded speeds and reduce this and showed that in the other day. it was cheap price and so depending on the 2 players, but unfortunately because of the sanctions, there's been stopped for the last few years. and the last year the united states at loose and the sanctions have been and we started the the voting. but again, now they extract it all, but i guess we have to live with this kind of game in april. so just this month, so us administration reinstated sanctions against venezuela's oil sector. what,
3:12 am
what's, what was the reason for this decision? and this uh is basically political and also keep business. uh, uh, political because they uh try to do really change in uh, when is lula to go to conspiracies uh through uh the nation, also one guide or as president. and did you do my thing? the government does mad to but nothing worked. so they are doing the same thing at all in both city center ships and meeting their cube out of any sort of uh uh, so the vigilance guy with concerns uh that just like the cubans and the last $670.00 case that uh, this is that goes with which they have to leave. uh, but this is not going to be a, a,
3:13 am
to any objective for the united states. it is freighted in the past and it is not going to be busy but, but there is something more fundamental than that, always solutions on that piece. i suppose the sea infinity sections tomorrow. and the rule us opposition comes to by the 1st thing that happened, these precedent and model. i'm over 200 of the top with admitted entry d, shit a, a to z. does she? then it is a lot really good to be sent to j. u. s. because united states has announced the phone, the problem, i'd be about $20000000.00 on the head of my doodle and don't be on the h. so many other leaders. so it's a very so not, so this is life and that fall off the top leadership of the thing is as long as
3:14 am
this won't be continues as long as this life and that thing hanging on uh, the heads of the vendors are letting the, the ships uh, sanctions are no sanctions and nothing will happen. so you say these sanctions will not achieve the desired effect that the us is looking for. but will the sanctions have any effect on oil imports to india? uh, but it has divided by the sanctions. otherwise, our benefits that you get into trouble. uh, but pretty basic, but you know, you never know about the united states that keeps changing. uh huh. you know, it was also in february this year that the u, as in post sanctions against the russian suppliers. why do you think the u. s. is gradually imposing sanctions on countries that supply oil to india. disney that's deliberate. that smart sanctions begin stating the sanctions on the exporting countries like vanilla it on and russia. of course, it's politically, it's also businesses because to be the largest producer of it in the united states
3:15 am
