An 81% chance of one of the strongest El Niño events on record. Yet governments and oil companies continue investing billions in projects like #EACOP. East Africa needs climate resilience, not more fossil fuels. 📸 The Continent Issue 245.
📌A court in France has ruled that TotalEnergies must account for the climate impacts of the oil it produces. In Hoima, Uganda, Rachael Tugume lost her land to EACOP and is now speaking directly to what this means for her community. Read our full statement: shorturl.at/z7YLO
While #BonnClimateTalks are underway, in Diloda village, Tanzania, communities along the #EACOP route are living with the consequences. Just transition can't include fossil fuels. Climate finance should support clean cooking, adaptation, & renewables, & power for over 600M Africans without access.
5/5 Worldwide, people came together to challenge fossil fuel expansion, support affected communities, and imagine better energy futures. From Paris and London to New York, the world demonstrated solidarity with frontline communities. #KickPollutersOut #StopEACOP
4/5 During TotalEnergies' AGM, activists camped outside the company's HQs in Johannesburg and Kampala. In Kampala, they initially hoped to stay for 102 minutes to symbolize TotalEnergies' 102 years of "messy existence" but left after 42mins to avoid arrest. #KickPollutersOut! #StopEACOP!
3/5 In Tanzania, people living along the pipeline route in Tanga had a teach-in session examining how oil extraction has left frontline communities in abject poverty in other parts of Africa and why renewable energy is a feasible alternative.
2/5 People in Kijumba staged a peaceful road blockade on one of the community roads damaged by heavy trucks carrying material to and from the EACOP project sites. They are demanding accountability, immediate restoration, and repair of destroyed roads. #KickPollutersOut!
1/5 EACOP-project-affected people held a tribunal on the first day of the week of action and exposed how the controversial #EACOP project has unravelled their lives. Several villagers gave testimonies that completely contradict TotalEnergies' claims of livelihood transformation.

#TotalEnergies' "independent assessment" of its land acquisition program for the Tilenga oil project in Uganda is a blatant attempt to self-certify its own compliance while communities are still in court seeking justice. Our press release ⬇️ #StopEACOP!
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
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
🚨 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 ⬇️
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
We love football, but accountability is non-negotiable. #AFCON #StopEACOP!
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.
The decision to exclude TotalEnergies from its portfolio over climate and human rights concerns was not the result of our campaign pressure. It's what responsibility looks like when businesses take risks seriously. #StopEACOP!
TotalEnergies faces criminal complaint for complicity in war crimes, torture and enforced disappearance in Mozambique, www.amisdelaterre.org/communique-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!
Ugandan climate activists Patience and Hilda insist that polluters must pay. They cite a report by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social about how the richest 1% plunder & pollute the planet to the point of destruction, leaving humanity choking on extreme heat, floods & drought. #COP30 must deliver!
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.
