“Uganda and Tanzania are completing preparations for the construction of a massive 1,440 km oil pipeline which will take crude oil from fields in Lake Albert to Tanzania’s Tanga Indian Ocean port. European Union officials have demanded that the project be scrapped, citing environmental, climate, and ‘human rights’ concerns.

“Brussels’ campaign of diplomatic pressure on Uganda and Tanzania aimed at stopping the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) amounts to pure ‘hypocrisy,’ and constitutes an attempt by wealthy countries to keep developing nations down, Elison Karuhanga, a member of Uganda’s Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, has said."
