Together we can stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and create a just and sustainable economic future. New global campaign to #StopEACOP
@stopeacop.bsky.socialCOP12 of the Nairobi Convention concluded in Dar es Salaam. 10 nations made 15 decisions to combat marine pollution & protect the Western Indian Ocean.
Tanzania urged protection of nature & livelihoods, despite EACOP terminating at its port city of Tanga. What a joke! punchng.com/convention-t...
@stopeacop.bsky.socialYesterday, October 1, was supposed to be #EACOP's opening.
Instead, Uganda's first commercial oil is now slated for June 2027.
The pipeline might be almost done. But building it isn't operating it, and operating it isn't the end of accountability.

@stopeacop.bsky.social🚨 BREAKING: The case against the #KCB11 has been DISMISSED after 17 months! Ugandan environmental defenders who were arrested for peacefully petitioning KCB Bank over EACOP financing are officially FREE. 🗣️ "Speaking up should never be criminalized." — Bob Barigye
@stopeacop.bsky.socialThe KCB11 have spent 17 months facing criminal trespass charges after going to KCB Uganda to deliver a letter calling on the bank to stop financing EACOP.
Not a single prosecution witness has testified.
Another hearing's set for today. Read @climaterights.bsky.social blog: cri.org/uganda-drop-...
@stopeacop.bsky.socialOver 2 million people just brought a clear message to UNGA: #MakePollutersPay.
UN Climate Lead was clear: "Regulate, legislate, litigate. Civil society needs to use every tool it has to hold polluters accountable."
Communities are done paying for climate debt. #UNGA
@stopeacop.bsky.social"Development" means nothing when communities are displaced, ecosystems are damaged, and human rights are on the line. At New York Climate Week, Pascal Mirindi of Notre Terre Sans Pétrole is calling out the fossil fuel expansion promises being made in East Africa and the Congo Basin.

@stopeacop.bsky.social🚨New spatial analysis warns the #EACOP pipeline cuts through interconnected lakes, wetlands, and rivers—158 wetlands in Uganda. As first oil approaches, East Africa must ask: what happens when oil development risks hit shared water systems? www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-ne...
@xrfrance.bsky.socialReposted by @stopeacop.bsky.social🗣️ L'ONG @stopeacop.bsky.social nous rappelle que lorsque les incendies ont eu pour conséquence financière 500 millions d'euros de dégâts et 25 000 familles ruinées, Total Energies réalisait 11,2 milliards d'euros de profits en six mois 🙃
@stopeacop.bsky.socialAfrica's solar boom is likely far bigger than official stats show
New research estimates 75% of solar added between 2023-2025 came from distributed systems, most of it not in national data
Africa's energy transition is already being built from the ground up africantechfutures.org/insights/the...
