Farmers should be left to take care of their lands rather than those lands being taken away to pave way for crude oil.
Where East African oil pipeline meets sea, displaced farmers bemoan “bad deal” on compensation. https://www.climatechangenews.com/2024/07/12/where-east-african-oil-pipeline-meets-sea-displaced-farmers-bemoan-bad-deal-eacop/ The serene coast line of congoleani used to be a little known paradise for local fishers and farmers just north of the tanzanian city of Tanga,but it's now becoming the end point of EACOP after a journey of more than 1400 from uganda Tanzania the oil is stored there awaiting to customers from abroad, EACOP being a big firm that partners with many corporations like totalenergies has sparked mixed reactions especially from climate activists who have stared a campaign called # STOPEACOP#to try and see if these projects will be recosidered.
Displaced farmers bemoan "bad deal" on EACOP project
EACOP has pushed up the price of land, so compensation is too low to maintain local farmers and fishers' standard of living

EACOP has to Address Environmental and Social Impacts of Oil Pipeline
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) poses significant environmental and social risks that cannot be overlooked. The project, running from Uganda to Tanzania, threatens to worsen climate change and harm local ecosystems. As the world moves towards renewable energy, investing in a fossil fuel infrastructure is a step backward. The carbon emissions from the pipeline, both direct and indirect, will contribute to global warming, undermining global efforts to combat climate change. The environmental footprint of EACOP extends beyond its carbon emissions. The pipeline’s route cuts through vital wildlife habitats and water sources, posing a threat to biodiversity. Any potential spills or leaks could have catastrophic consequences for the environment and local communities. These risks call for a re-evaluation of the project’s viability in the context of sustainable development goals. Moreover, the displacement and inadequate compensation of landowners affected by EACOP's construction highlight a serious ethical breach. Farmers who lost their land have reported receiving insufficient compensation, leaving them struggling to rebuild their lives. This not only violates their rights but also undermines social stability. Fair compensation and support for affected communities are essential to ensure that development projects do not come at the expense of human dignity and livelihoods. EACOP's approach to compensation has been criticized for lacking transparency and fairness. The affected landowners deserve better. They should receive compensation that reflects the true value of their land and covers the costs of relocation and lost income. Failing to do so perpetuates injustice and fosters resentment among local populations. In conclusion, EACOP must address both the environmental and social implications of its project. The world cannot afford to ignore the climate crisis, and corporations must be held accountable for their impact. Fair compensation for displaced landowners and a reassessment of the pipeline’s environmental risks are imperative. It is crucial for EACOP to adopt a more sustainable and ethical approach to its operations. https://www.climatechangenews.com/2024/07/12/where-east-african-oil-pipeline-meets-sea-displaced-farmers-bemoan-bad-deal-eacop/

Activists arrested
When activists are arrested and wrongfully imprisoned, there is no democracy at all.They should be able to voice their concerns when companies like EACOP violate laws and nature.Someone should listen to them and ensure that their concerns are looked into. Could this companies be bribing the justice system to ensure that the activists are silenced???Uganda should pull up their socks and ensure that justice prevails and those in prison with no plausible cause be released and publicly apologised to.Youths should receive all the support they need from companies, government etc.They have new ideas that if well funded could do wonders.https://allafrica.com/stories/202403280001.html

Many worried EACOP could spell disastrous social and environmental impacts
An oil pipeline megaproject is planned to carve through East Africa despite major concerns about how it will impact the climate, local communities, and biodiversity. The East Africa Crude Oil Export Pipeline (EACOP) is a planned pipeline that’s set to run for 1,443 kilometers (896 miles) between oilfields on the shores of Lake Albert in Uganda to Tanzania’s Port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean. Once up and running, it will be the world’s longest heated oil pipeline. https://www.iflscience.com/a-massive-oil-pipeline-threatens-to-carve-through-the-heart-of-africa-70574

Fresh research raises concerns about wetlands degradation along EACOP path in Uganda
A recent study is adding more criticism to Eacop, highlighting the potential risks to 158 wetlands along its proposed route in Uganda. The results shed fresh light on the project, which has been under scrutiny, as climate activists focus on potential environmental harm. Eacop Impacted Wetlands in Uganda, lists five massive wetland systems that the pipeline will cross, putting swamps and their wider ecosystems at risk. These wetlands drain into critical water bodies, including Lake Victoria, Lake Albert and the Victoria Nile. But oil chiefs behind the Eacop project dismissed the findings as biased and authored by a group that has been consistent in undermining Uganda’s quest to exploit its oil. The African Institute for Energy Governance (Afiego), which commissioned the study, argues that while horizontal direction drilling is deployed for river crossings, Eacop’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) downplayed the potential impact that the project would have on the wetlands.“The project proponents also proposed the open cut construction technique, as opposed to horizontal directional drilling, for crossing the wetlands. The technique has been criticised by experts, noting that “it has the potential of significant impacts, especially in wetlands,” the Afiego report reads. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/science-health/new-study-reveals-uganda-wetlands-destruction-by-eacop-4326922%3fview=htmlamp
