StopEACOP

"Development should never be measured solely in kilometers of pipeline constructed or profits generated. It should be measured in stronger livelihoods, improved well-being, energy access, social harmony, and opportunities created for future generations." 350.org/the-women-left…

Have you heard of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline? This 1,443 km 💣 Climate Bomb💣 is anticipated to start transporting oil from Uganda's Lake Albert oilfields to the Tanzanian port of Tanga as early as October 2026. Last week, four Ugandan farmers filed a case with London's High Court aiming to stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline from starting to operate, citing environmental and constitutional violations. Outside the @TotalEnergies SA HQ in Rosebank, @stopEACOP's Zaki Mamdoo explains what it is and why it's so devastating... #stopEACOP @350Africa #kickpollutersout

Perfect summary. That's how we see #EACOP as one of the biggest accountability failures of our time. Those approving & financing it stand to gain. Those living along the pipeline bear the greatest risks. A few profit and the rest - including future generations, pay! #StopEACOP

@stopEACOP I'd put capital into distributed water, solar, and protected agriculture. EACOP is a stranded asset by design, and El Niño is already exposing which systems survive.

Lake Albert is not just an oil field. It is a source of life for more than 300,000 Congolese and Ugandans. Thousands of families depend on it every day for fishing, food, transportation, and their livelihoods. #StopEACOP!

The Invisible Heat Emergency in Africa🌡️ Today is Thursday, and that means we are dedicating our coverage to the ongoing heat wave crisis in the world, with a focus on Africa and Europe.

Voices Along the Oil Pipeline is a powerful reminder that behind every major development project are real people, real stories and real impacts. The documentary brings forward the voices of women who continue to carry the burden of environmental and social challenges while showing their courage, resilience and determination to be heard. A must-watch story on why justice, inclusion, and community voices must be at the center of conversations about our future.

📢 Ugandan farmers have sued #EACOP in UK High Court, arguing the UK-registered company should have to comply with Uganda's constitutional, environmental & climate protections. #StopEACOP! reuters.com/legal/litigati…

Scientists warn a super El Niño could bring severe floods, droughts, and food insecurity across Africa. We know we need investments in climate resilience. Instead, billions keep flowing into new oil projects like #EACOP, not helping communities adapt. That's a choice!

"While the development has been challenged before, the fact that the company responsible for constructing and maintaining the conduit is registered in the UK — and would theoretically be bound by the ruling — gives this case added weight." #StopEACOP! bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Ugandan farmers sue UK-registered EACOP company in landmark climate case.The case relies on Uganda's National Climate Change Act of 2021, National Environment Act of 2019, and constitutional provisions guaranteeing the right to a clean &healthy environment @YGCUganda @stopEACOP

“Uganda’s oil and gas development has historically been characterised by limited transparency, particularly regarding production-sharing agreements and public access to information,” said Samuel Okulony observer.ug/business/civil…

EGI,alongside @Eacophostcmty @strecug @stopEACOP @AfiegoUg and youth activists held a press conference calling on Presidents Yoweri Museveni and Félix Tshisekedi to ensure transparency in cross-border oil discussions.Communities must be consulted,and their rights protected.

👫Communities become stronger by learning from each other. 🤝 Last week, AFIEGO supported an exchange learning visit between oil-affected communities from Greater Masaka and Bunyoro sub-regions. The communities shared lessons, challenges and affirmed unity and collaboration.

🚨 New publication out! Titled, “The EACOP is being constructed, but at what cost?”, the 📗shares social impacts of @EACOP_ 's construction activities. It also assesses whether oil revenues can contribute to the clean energy transition. Read the summary: afiego.org/wp-content/upl…

“Communities in Uganda and Tanzania have lost their land, livelihoods, and futures to Total’s East African Crude Oil Pipeline. This ruling shows the company’s reckless expansion won’t go unchecked forever.” environewsnigeria.com/coalition-says…

Climate justice ISN’T a favour. It’s a human right Whenever climate impacts strike, they leave a trail of horror. Displaced communities. Damaged homes and infrastructure. Destroyed livelihoods and economies. Deaths and upended lives. For millions of Africans, #Adaptation is the only hope for survival. African countries need #ClimateFinance urgently for their people to #Adapt2Live

The fact that overall financing rose despite more than a third of major banks pulling back shows how concentrated the problem has become: Just twelve banks the “Dirty Dozen” control nearly 39% of all bank fossil deals in 2025 Read More👇 bankingonclimatechaos.org/wp-content/upl…

To banks like the @StandardBankZA, @AskKCBUganda and @stanbicug this is another reminder that the project's legal, financial and reputational risks continue to evolve. It's time to reassess whether financing new fossil fuel expansion is compatible with your climate commitments.
