People affected by the project are more likely to be women, not being considered as rightful landowners and therefore more often deprived of any compensation while not being able anymore to work on affected fields to feed their families.
There are documented death-threats: https://www.fidh.org/IMG/pdf/fidh__fhri_report_uganda_oil_extraction-compresse.pdf #StopEACOP
Affected people claim they were forced to sign unfavourable contracts depriving them immediately of their living conditions and property by abandoning their fields and cutting them off of their current income, worsening their socio-economic conditions in an alarming rate.

And since we unfortunately only have one common atmosphere, we try to protect it. #StopEACOP is one important part out of many. But glad to hear that you apparently disagree with these pipelines as well
There are approx. 118 000 people affected by the project, many claiming that their land has been taken away; who have been guaranteed compensation in 2018 which has still not been paid in 2022, leaving people behind without fair, timely and appropriate compensation.

For @TotalEnergies the "best social standards" means supporting grabbing large sizes of land, exacerbating massive relocation of farms and villages, affecting rural and local communities for which land is the crucial resource for their livelihoods and socio-economic development.

@JesseMuhwezi @elisonk @europarl_en @EUinUG @SsekatawaAli @GloriaSebikari @pmuliisa21 @Tybisa @UgandaBenelux @UgandaMFA @nj_ayuk @energy_african We DECIDE over European Companies such as @TotalEnergies and European bodies and we CALL on African governments. You got it wrong.
For @TotalEnergies, the "best environmental standards" means emitting an additional 34.3 million metric tons of CO2 per year for another 20 years, which would double the yearly combined CO2 emissions of Uganda and Tanzania.

Uganda & Tanzania, as sovereign states, have signed the UN Paris Climate Agreement which declares to fight climate change and contributes to the common goal to keep the heating of the planet below 1,5 degree Celsius.
@pmuliisa21 @elisonk @europarl_en @EUinUG @SsekatawaAli @GloriaSebikari @Tybisa @UgandaBenelux @UgandaMFA @nj_ayuk @energy_african My statement is that Ugandans won‘t see any Oil with EACOP. The basis for this Statement is the fact that the P in EACOP stands for pipeline. Through a pipeline, oil is transported somewhere else. In this case Tanga. So no oil for Uganda.
@elisonk @europarl_en @EUinUG @SsekatawaAli @GloriaSebikari @pmuliisa21 @Tybisa @UgandaBenelux @UgandaMFA @nj_ayuk @energy_african .@elisonk, we talked about it:
Development the way Africans want – YES
#EACOP will not ease energy poverty. Ugandans won‘t see any of their Oil.

Nice, aber gibts da dieses Mal vielleicht ein bisschen mehr als nur nen schönen Titel?
Das #europeanyearofyouth hat jungen Menschen ziemlich genau nichts gebracht
Von der Leyen fordert die Diversifizierung unserer Lieferanten für Rohstoffe und kündigt den #europeancriticalrawmaterialsact an um den 5 fachen Bedarf an seltenen Erden zu managen. Menschenrechte und Umweltschutz dürfen hier nicht auf der Strecke bleiben! #stateoftheunion
#TotalEnergies will in Uganda&Tanzania über 1400km Ölpipeline bauen.
Das bedeutet: Menschenrechte v mind. 118k Personen in Gefahr & bis zu 34Mt CO2/Jahr. Das ist Klima-Kolonialismus.
Deswegen diskutieren wir heute im @Europarl_DE über unsere @GreensEFA Resolution gegen #EACOP!
