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.

UK, Netherlands drop funding for TotalEnergiesβ massacre-linked gas project
The governments had been under pressure to ditch support for the scheme.
This is why we said, #EACJCourt ruling notwithstanding, the controversial #EACOP project, like the Mozambique LNG, remains risky. Those funding it, like South Africa's #StandardBank, must know they're complicit even if they pretend ignorance of the reality on the ground. #StopEACOP shorturl.at/nKtjN

Regional court dismisses EACOP Case, but the pipeline is still controversial β #StopEACOP
Some of the EACOP Project-affected persons and members of civil society organizations from Uganda and Tanzania, outside the EACJ court.
#EACJ dismissed the #EACOP case on a technicality, refusing to hear the evidence of harm faced by impacted communities
This is a blow. But the land grabs, pollution risks, and human rights violations have not disappeared & our resistance doesn't end in courtrooms. Read our blog shorturl.at/C21fV
