#Uganda must protect the rights and livelihoods of fishing communities near the #Kingfisher oil and gas project along Lake Albert. CRI and the Environmental Governance Institute Uganda have urged President Museveni to take action on campaign promises made.

Uganda's women deserve justice. CECIC took that message to the UN at #CSW70. Land grabbing. Climate crisis. #EACOP displacement. Women still waiting in Kasese camps.
Their silence is not consent. We will not stop. 🔥

We continue highlighting how the controversial #EACOP has impacted women. In another mini-documentary by @WogemU, women found themselves shortchanged: "...promised decent homes, land, and opportunities. What they found was something else." #IWD2026
She was there when they came. She was there when they marked her home. She was there when they filled out the forms. But her voice? They left that behind.
This is what the #EACOP pipeline looks like for women on the ground. #IWD2026 #StopEACOP
A recent independent report paints a bleak picture for Uganda's oil sector. The analysis raises critical questions about the controversial #EACOP & associated oil fields. On Friday, March 6th, we'll host an X (Twitter) storm to amplify these findings. You can read the analysis here shorturl.at/cxJVG
These banks 👉 Societe Generale, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, J.P. Morgan, among others, publicly "rejected" the controversial #EACOP project but are now facilitating a €1.5B bond for #TotalEnergies, effectively keeping the project alive. Were their statements on #EACOP just PR technicalities? #StopEACOP
TotalEnergies is in a major climate trial at the Paris Court of Justice.
Case is asking for @TotalEnergies to cut its GHG emissions & STOP #fossilfuel expansion.
Communities are already feeling the impacts of the controversial #EACOP project.

🚨 Breaking: TotalEnergies faces a major climate trial at the Paris Court of Justice.
The case will determine whether Total can be legally forced to cut its GHG emissions & its #fossilfuel expansion
Communities are already feeling the impacts of its controversial #EACOP project. Our press release ⬇️
💡 According to the latest reports from Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), Uganda’s oil industry, and #EACOP in particular, is delayed, over budget and likely to disappoint when it comes to returns.
⚠️More hard evidence that fossil fuels are a losing game—and when projects like #EACOP trample the rights of local communities and ignore environmental impacts, it's not just bad news for affected people, it's bad business for project developers and their shareholders. ieefa.org/articles/rea...

118,000+ people displaced, protected areas threatened, because of the controversial #EACOP. As the world marks #CleanEnergyDay, here's a reminder of the consequences of choosing the wrong path. You can interact with the EACOP map here: eacopmap.org
@mark-carney.bsky.social take note!
Mr.P.P. stop cheering for #EACOP
The #environment is THE global issue!
Residents in Katooke Hoima Chapter, Uganda have organised to demand an immediate halt to operations, full medical and psychosocial support for all affected people, and full accountability from those responsible. These communities are standing together to defend their health, dignity, and right to live without harm. #EACOP

Real people. Real harm. No support. Update from along the #EACOP - the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. Kyomukama (78) collapsed after extreme noise from operations and now lives with debilitating back pain, unable to care for herself. Repeated reports have gone unanswered.

Real people. Real harm. No support. Update from along the #EACOP - the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. Tushabomwe (56) suffered a severe back injury after access roads were destroyed, cutting off his route home. Despite reporting his condition, he remains untreated and in constant pain.

The African Cup of Nations (AFCON) kicked off on 21st Dec
AFCON, like most sports, unites people.
It's a shame #TotalEnergies, which is building destructive #fossilfuels like the controversial #EACOP across the continent, harming people & sowing disunity, is using this event to clean up its image.
This is why we said, #EACJCourt ruling notwithstanding, the controversial #EACOP project, like the Mozambique LNG, remains risky. Those funding it, like South Africa's #StandardBank, must know they're complicit even if they pretend ignorance of the reality on the ground. #StopEACOP shorturl.at/nKtjN
Update:
Kasinyi community members met to confront worsening floods harming farms and homes. With rising public awareness, local resistance to #EACOP #Tilenga oil field is growing, strengthening solidarity to defend our land, rights, and future.
Organized by @Eacophostcmty
#EACJ dismissed the #EACOP case on a technicality, refusing to hear the evidence of harm faced by impacted communities
This is a blow. But the land grabs, pollution risks, and human rights violations have not disappeared & our resistance doesn't end in courtrooms. Read our blog shorturl.at/C21fV
#Uganda expects oil production to begin in 2027, though the East African Crude Oil Pipeline to #Tanzania remains delayed. The government is banking on future energy revenues to drive growth and fund its expansive development plans. #EACOP

What does the historic #ICJ advisory opinion mean for #EACOP — the longest heated oil pipeline in the world? CRI's @lotteleicht.bsky.social and @felixhorne.bsky.social write about the controversial pipeline stretching across #Uganda and #Tanzania ⤵️ substack.com/home/post/p-...
China’s getting strong coverage at #COP30 for climate leadership. But regional reports say Chinese institutions may fund #EACOP after global banks avoided it over environment & human rights risks. That’s a real credibility test. Our partner in Belém calls on China to walk the talk. #StopEACOP!
We ended week one of #COP30 with our members participating in the People’s March for Climate to demand urgent climate action & an end to fossil-fuel dependency. Sam Okulony (EGI-Uganda) called out major polluters, including #TotalEnergies, which is building the controversial #EACOP.
Yesterday, @unclebrighton.bsky.social brought the voices of those on the frontlines of the #EACOP fight from Lake Albert to the Amazon. He reminded the world of the 12 activists still in jail for protesting Stanbic Bank Uganda's involvement in the controversial project. #StopEACOP!

Disturbed to hear that 12 young HRDs from Students Against EACOP were formally charged in #Uganda today. They've been detained since 1 August, as they held a peaceful march to denounce a local bank's funding of the #EACOP Pipeline. I call for their immediate release & for the charges to be dropped.
Le projet #EACOP estimé à une valeur de 10 milliards de $ menace 35 cours d'eau, 2 lacs dont Le lac Albert en Ouganda l’un des + grands d’Afrique. La zone est sismique. Le dernier rapport du GIEC indique clairement qu'aucun nouveau projet d'exploitation des combustibles fossiles ne peut être lancé.
TotalEnergies & CNOOC have decided to increase their financial commitments to #EACOP, as lenders to their own project. This reflects the collapse of external financing for the $5.6bn pipeline amid widespread rejection by banks & insurers due to environmental, human rights & climate risks
