Happening now! The court hearing for PAPs & youth activists. We stand in solidarity with those bravely challenging EACOP's harmful impacts. The unjust arrests and repression must end. We demand justice and a shift to sustainable, community-focused solutions.

Unfairness in Courts: It's sad that a trial magistrate remands activists, gives a date when he or she is absent. This is the case for StopEACOP activists in Uganda. We continue to push for their release & continue to push for justice for activists.

It’s disappointing to see #COP29 host Azerbaijan doubling down on gas expansion while the world urgently needs to pivot to #CleanEnergy. Plans to increase gas export capacity by 35% by 2034 prioritize short-term profits over long-term sustainability. energynews.pro/en/azerbaijan-…

📢 Update on the 20 activists arrested last week during peaceful demonstrations against #EACOP - The hearing was adjourned because the magistrate was absent - They will remain in detention until 5th September - We condemn this attempt at delaying justice. #StopEACOP!

Big Oil companies like @Eni will go to great lengths to line their pockets, using #greenwashing tactics and exploiting loopholes to deceive the public and investors. It's time for us to rise up against these deceptive practices and demand accountability! voxeurop.eu/en/eni-italy-f…

Did you know? ☀️ West Africa's solar energy potential is enormous! Solar capacity in the region could reach 16GW by 2030, 130GW by 2050, and an incredible 242GW by 2065! This highlights the immense potential for #CleanEnergy in Africa.

Honestly speaking Uganda Police Force, why are peaceful protesters being met with violence and unlawful arrests? Human rights defenders shouldn’t be imprisoned for peaceful protest. These activists are fighting for their communities and the planet. We urge financiers at #FOCAC2024 to

Yesterday, Young Volunteers for the Environment in Yaoundé protested at TotalEnergies stations, calling for an end to #FossilFuels and demanding corporations take responsibility for #LossAndDamage. Their powerful action pushes for justice and climate solutions ahead of #COP29!

The StopEACOP activists who were arrested 10 days ago in Kampala are at Buganda Road court & their bail application is being heard. We hope that they get bail & get temporary freedom. We continue to fight for justice.

As #FOCAC2024 begins in Beijing, let's not forget the voices silenced by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. African leaders, it's time to prioritize people, not pipelines! #StopEACOP #FreeThe20

For a third time since their arrest, the youth activists and communities members who were brutally arrested have been arraigned before court for their bail application on charges of public nuisance. We pray and hope they’re granted freedom and justice StopEACOP Youth For Green Communities (YGC).
