AMSTERDAM, July 11 (Reuters) – Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile,Research)(RDSb.L: Quote, Profile,Research) will pull out of Zimbabwe, a spokesman for the company told Dutch news agency ANP on Friday.
He said Royal Dutch Shell would sell its 50 percent stake in a joint venture with British Petroleum (BP.L: Quote, Profile,Research) in that country to South Africa’s Engen Petroleum ENGN.BT.
The spokesman added it was a strategic decision made after a study conducted last year into the profitability of all downstream activities and was unrelated to the political situation.
Zimbabwe warned on Thursday that a proposed U.N. resolution imposing sanctions on its leadership because of elections marred by violence could start a civil war and turn the country into another Somalia.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
