WHY EAST AFRICA NEEDS THE EACOP.

There has been recent claims on a motion of resolution by the European Parliament that calls on Uganda and Tanzania to stop the development of oil and gas projects in the East African region.

However, Uganda and East Africa need the Oil pipeline following public reactions towards the negative motives of the European Parliament.

It brings back colonial times, much as their arguments have a grain of salt, I dont think the the implementers of EACOP did not conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This was done and all aspects taken into consideration.

And besides that, Africa at large is the least contributor to climate change. They (first world countries) are the biggest contributors-they are burning fossil fuels like coal which contribute heavily to climate change.

They have refused to stop their use, they should tackle that First, before they start extending their concerns to us. We need this pipeline as a region, we should just look at ensuring its sustainable enough-the people well compensated and livelihood alternatives for the affected people taken into consideration.

This is another group of racists seated in Brussels imagining that they can decide the fate of two sovereign states that have the best interest for their people. As Ugandans, we should fight this racism and neo colonialism. Africa is energy poor and must use our resources.

EACOP should continue following ISO operating procedures mindful of the environment, human rights and all other obligations.

EACOP shall not stop. Europeans have a lot of work to do to restore African ecosystems in places they have been involved mining lucrative minerals , oil etc; e.g Congo, Nigeria, Mozambique, Angola.
