Oil Found in Gambia, President Says

[DuctapeFatwa]

The Gambian president announced the discovery of "large quantities" of oil in his tiny West African nation, saying the offshore find would eliminate poverty and hunger, Gambian media reported.

An unnamed Western company made the find while studying 200 square miles of Atlantic seabed off Gambia's coast, the Gambian newspaper The Independent reported Monday.
