On Tuesday, November 9, 1999, Elf and Shell announced that they were both reviewing their involvement in the Chad/Cameroon oil development and pipeline project.  Although neither company stated that they had withdrawn from the project, the Chadian government announced that both firms had informed Chad of their decision to exit the consortium of companies involved in the scheme.  On November 16, protests in Chad against Elf left one person dead, and several others injured.
