FRANCE 24 English 
A huge fossil fuel project in East Africa has sparked fierce push back .The East african crude oil pipe line or eacop will transport oil along a 1,443km heated pipeline operated by France’s Total Energy and spanning from Uganda to the Tanzanian coast. The first exports are slated for 2025 but the financing of the project is still up in the air. A string of banks and insurers have refused their bavking. Environmental groups warn the project’s a global warming, ecological and human rights disaster. Supporters say its key to Uganda’s plans to capitalise on untapped oil reserves. For more, FRANCE 24 is joined by Baraka Lenga, a Tanzanian Climate change scientist who’s fiercly opposed to Eacop.

you guys can do better Dan this
why don't you ask dat fool about the kids dat don't have food and water
Why not protest the European pipeline Nord Stream that runs under the Baltic Sea? Or other new projects like Guyana? Projects like this in partnership with European companies already have high standards for environmental protection. With everything being considered, the benefits are clearly in favor for East Africa to develop the pipeline.
i bet these so called campaigners are from the west lmfao, go fix your own issues
Beware with friendly fire.. 🤡🤡
Thieves will do more damage when they tap into the pipeline. Thievery is a way of life.
