Featured speaker We Don't Have TimeEACOP PROJECT IN EAST AFRICA IS OF ''GRAVE CONCERN'' TO EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY.
In 2021, Total signed an agreement with Uganda and Tanzania to start building the $3.5 billion, 1,443-kilometre pipeline alongside the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation and Uganda National Oil Company. It will transport crude oil from the Tilenga oilfields being developed in north-western Uganda to a Tanzanian port on the Indian Ocean.
The project has proved hugely controversial for its contribution to climate change and the impacts on people living along its path.
Research by the US-based Climate Accountability Institute concluded it would emit 379 million tonnes of carbon over its 25-year lifespan – much more than laid out in the project’s environmental impact statements, which only account for the pipeline’s direct construction and operation.
In a resolution last year, the European Parliament expressed “grave concern” about alleged human rights violations in Uganda and Tanzania, linked to the project. And Ugandan protestors concerned about its impact on the local environment, displacement of communities and the lack of benefits accruing to Uganda have accused police of brutality towards them.
Total escapes court censure over East African oil pipeline
The court said campaigners arguments against the East African crude oil pipeline had changed too much - they are considering an appeal French oil and gas company Total has avoided censure by a French court over a string of techincalities

I'm saddened to learn that this project is ongoing and that the affected biodiversity is dying off with the vast forested and mangroves grown areas having been largely wiped down.

All may not be lost, may the court of appeal judges make the right decisions for the sake of humanity. The decision will set a precedence.

History will judge the judges who did not rule on the details at the heart of the case. Looking forward to the success of the appeal case.
