Every day, communities across East Africa are paying a heavy price for a project they never wanted. Families are being displaced, livelihoods are being lost, and local wildlife and nature are being destroyed.
Despite this, TotalEnergies keeps pushing the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). They claim it will bring "development" – even though over 70 banks and insurance companies around the world have already walked away from it.
Fossil fuels don't bring prosperity to Africa. When countries depend on fossil fuels, ordinary people suffer while a wealthy few profit.
Add your name and demand that investors and banks stop funding this pipe dream and shift toward a people-centered renewable future.
To Amundi, Norges Bank Investment Management, BlackRock, Vanguard and other investors backing TotalEnergies and EACOP:
Decades of extraction have failed to reduce poverty in Africa. We do not need more pipelines that harm our economies and fuel corruption. Already, 29 African currencies have weakened due to energy import mismatches.
In East Africa, global oil shocks have triggered violent protests in countries like Kenya and austerity measures in Tanzania. Madagascar's government has declared a state of emergency due to severe energy constraints.
In Somalia, a severe lack of diesel has compromised critical food security pipelines, grounded fishing fleets, and stalled essential aid deliveries.
Meanwhile, Uganda has experienced panic buying, particularly in border towns, as fuel pump prices spike. These events underscore the dire consequences of fossil fuel dependence – a cycle we urgently need to break.
We need to urgently shift toward clean, safe, and people-centered renewable energy.
