Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) has not responded to
The governments of Uganda and Tanzania have jointly requested the Appellate Division of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to dismiss a petition filed by four civil society organisations (CSOs) from Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, aiming to halt the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).
In February 2025, the East African Court of Justice held an appeal hearing in Kigali in the case brought by several NGOs contesting the agreement between the Ugandan and Tanzanian governments on the EACOP project. This colossal project, led by TotalEnergies, involves the construction of the longest heated oil pipeline in the world, connecting the oil reserves around Lake Albert in Uganda to the Tanzanian port of Tanga. After the dismissal of their case in the first instance for technical reasons, this hearing is the last chance for these organisations to obtain a judgment on the merits.
Police in Kampala have arrested 15 activists who were protesting outside Parliament on Monday against Uganda’s ongoing oil developments.
Total Energies was made aware of the arrests through social media and our team promptly engaged with the officer at the Central Police station where the activists were being held, to remind the them of the need to ensure that legal due process is followed, the protestors are treated well, and their rights are respected while in detention.
