In Uganda, security forces violently cracked down on climate activists in the capital Kampala as they protested the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, or EACOP. At least 21 people were arrested. Last week, the Ugandan government said it might forcibly take over land from over 100 people for the pipeline construction, some of whom have already refused compensation and resettlement. EACOP is a 900-mile pipeline which is set to transport oil from Uganda to Tanzania’s Indian Ocean port of Tanga. France’s TotalEnergies and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation are behind EACOP, working with Ugandan and Tanzanian state-owned oil firms
