Human-rights controversy over Sudan operations
Talisman's acquisition of a 25 percent stake in Sudan's Greater Nile oil project during the civil war prompted allegations that oil development supported government displacement and abuses. Talisman was criticized by non-governmental organizations and a Canadian review, while a U.S. lawsuit alleging genocide-related conduct was ultimately dismissed for lack of admissible evidence against the company.
