This #HumanRightsDay, we're calling for accountability. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project continues to raise serious human rights concerns in Uganda and Tanzania. We're urging TotalEnergies and CNOOC International to take responsibility and address the ongoing violations affecting Project-Affected People (PAPs) and human and environmental rights defenders. The time for action is now. Respect for human rights must be at the forefront of any development project. #StopEACOP #HumanRightsDay #CorporateAccountability

UPDATE: the East African Court of Justice has refused to dismiss this appeal, as Tanzania had requested. It will now consider whether the lower court was right in dismissing the original claim, on the grounds that it was not filed in time.

TODAY: Ugandan and Tanzanian campaigners are in court in a last-ditch attempt to block a massive polluting oil pipeline running through their countries, while activists face jail for protesting against the project. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) has been in development for years as a partnership between France’s TotalEnergies, Chinese state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation and Uganda and Tanzania’s state oil companies. Now the east african court of justice, which sits in the Tanzanian city of Arusha, is to hear arguments that could make or break the project.

On August 26, 2024, 15 youth activists and seven community members affected by oil developments in Uganda were arrested while peacefully marching to deliver a petition outlining their community's demands and concerns regarding the ongoing oil projects in the Albertine region. The police initially detained 21 individuals, 20 of whom were later remanded to Luzira Maximum Prison for 11 days before being granted bail. Their court case is now scheduled to continue on November 12. This incident is part of a broader crackdown on peaceful environmental defenders in the region. These activists are risking their freedom to advocate for a sustainable future, and we must not let their efforts go unnoticed. Join us in calling for respect for their fundamental rights and seeking justice for those affected by the oil projects in Uganda.

BREAKING NEWS! Activists are protesting where global and African energy elites are meeting for African Energy Week to shape Africa’s energy future. Their powerful stand challenges the unchecked exploitation of Africa by oil and gas corporations, refusing to let these industries profit at the continent’s expense. The fight for justice, our communities, and our planet is far from over! WE WON'T BACK DOWN. Shell TotalEnergies Eni ExxonMobil

Agreed! The future of creativity is clean! We must boycott advertising agencies that accept fossil fuel money to promote misinformation and greenwashing. Thank you, Duncan Meisel. #StopEACOP!
Here’s Duncan Meisel explaining everything you need to know about WPP, EACOP and the reality of working with the fossil fuel industry as an ad agency. Discovered by Clean Creatives South Africa in an awards submission video, WPP’s subsidiary MetropolitanRepublic, set up a totally fake front grassroots movement to ‘squash all negative PR’ from environmental protests against a heavily polluting pipeline that will harm communities in Tanzania and Uganda. The campaign was seemingly coordinated with the Ugandan government, with a hashtag trending on Twitter with the help of over 70 posts by Ugandan government accounts. MetropolitanRepublic’s award submission also used photos of 15 grassroots activists in Uganda - 8 of those 15 have been harassed, arrested, or beaten by Ugandan police. 👉 The truth is, working with the bad guys means doing bad things which is exactly why we need you and your colleagues to join our movement to stop campaigns that harm both people and the planet. ♻️Share this video with your network so more creatives can learn how to fight back against harmful marketing tactics like this one. 🔗Read the full investigation by DeSmog about WPP’s work with TotalEnergies here: https://lnkd.in/er6knS32 #WPP #EACOP #MetropolitanRepublic #TotalEnergies #Sustainability #Advertising #Greenwashing #CleanCreatives

When it comes to TotalEnergies, there's far more than meets the eye. The fossil fuel giant continues to prioritize profit over people, pushing projects that devastate ecosystems and displace communities across Africa. It's time to demand a just and #sustainableenergy future, free from the destructive impacts of oil and gas. Let’s come together to kick TotalEnergies out of Africa and champion #renewableenergy solutions that benefit the people, not corporations.

📣 We continue to urge the cancellation of the problematic #AfricaEnergyWeek A few individuals connected to the #fossilfuel industry are attempting to discuss our energy future without our involvement. They are prioritizing the needs of transnational corporations like TotalEnergies over frontline communities. Our Coordinator, Zaki Mamdoo, shares more about this unholy alliance and explains why Africans want #AfricaEnergyWeek cancelled. #StopEACOP #FalseSolutions

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. The idea of an "energy bank" that will only put more money in Transnational corporations while leaving communities & their environments worse off, needless to stress that it solves no real needs of the African people is neocolonial, whichever way you slice it. #StopEACOP!
Power Shift Africa Director, Mohamed Adow expresses concern over the recent push by 18 African nations to seek $5 billion for a new fossil fuel project lender.

Beyond the obvious responses to your nonsense NJ Ayuk JD, MBA., it is critical to point out that you are pushing a racist and classist narrative in asserting that black working class people have no agency and are just easily rented. The majority of the comrades who came out yesterday are from organised mass-based community civic organisations which have been formed to resist corporate encroachment into their communities. The decision to build organised layers in their communities in the first place is necessitated by their material conditions and the need to realise and leverage working class power (through the process of building constituency-based organisations) to oppose fossil fuel expansion into their communities and the exploitation and destruction that comes with it. This is done precisely because our communities are living with the extreme impacts and the lasting legacies of extraction under the capitalist and neocolonial mode of production and are experiencing these impacts and the associated socio-economic crisis daily. That said, it is expected that you would contribute to the infantilisation of our people- making you no different than your friends in Washington. Ours is a movement for land, jobs, education, healthcare, adequate nutrition, services, energy and climate security. Yours is a lobby group for private profits, deregulation and multinational corporate capture. Tell us then, which is really backed by "foreign interests"? Perhaps the long list of international corporate oil giants sponsoring #AfricanEnergyWeek can answer that for you.
Today, European funded protesters gathered against the African Energy Chamber and AEC African Energy Week in our Johannesburg offices, but what many don’t realize is that these protests are backed by foreign interests. Some of the protesters gathered in from the poorest townships didn't even know why they were there, having been promised only $5 and a meal for their participation. Africans deserves better than to be used for foreign agendas. It is crucial to keep Africa in poverty, so they can continue to stay rich. Their economies thrive when Africa remains dependent and begs for aid. The AEC and it's #DrillBabyDrill position represents African-led energy solution that threatens the status quo, and that’s why it’s being attacked. We need to cut taxes, beat crazy forex regulations, approved projects, and divestments, fast track exploration, encourage competive fiscal terms, fiscal stability and fix other above ground risk issues so we can get investment and keep them and thrive. Resource nationalism is bad just like racism and sexism and xenophobia. We condemn it. Unfortunately, climate panic and fearmongering are alive and well, and the target is Africa. A continent that emits a negligible amount of carbon dioxide—at most, 3% of the world’s total —is being disproportionately pegged as a threat to the planet. Energy use here is so low that the average African consumes less electricity per year than an American family’s refrigerator . Those of us who are advocating for African countries to continue using their oil and gas resources are not “ignoring” the world’s green agenda. We’re simply not willing to embrace the world’s timetable for transitioning to renewable fuels at the expense of our own energy security and economic well-being. The way we see it, the world’s green agenda ignores Africa—or at least, it dismisses our unique needs, priorities, and challenges. The green agenda certainly ignores the tremendous role that Africa’s oil and gas industry plays in generating African countries’ revenue. We have to ask ourselves: Will fossil fuel development in Africa signal an end to all of the world’s good intentions and net zero ambitions? Or is this just another example of colonialism, this time “gone green?” See you in Cape Town on November 4th.
