🚨 FINAL ARRESTS IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE
All 60 people blocking the roads have now been arrested. Once again we've been putting our bodies on the line, risking arrest and even imprisonment, because we do not consent to plans that will result in 3C of warming and mass death.
One of the last to be arrested was Jo, who sat in the road for over 4 hours. Listen to her explain why she took action today.
We are all Just Stop Oil now. Register for our online call: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

🚨 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL ARE BACK
60 people are blocking the road outside Parliament as Burnham's first PMQs begins.
Oil and gas projects are a death sentence. The gov must sign a fossil fuel treaty.
We're all Just Stop Oil now. Help decide what's next: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

Africa is not for sale.
Our rivers are not pipelines.
Our communities are not sacrifice zones.
For too long, powerful fossil fuel companies have entered our land with promises of “development” while leaving behind displacement, pollution, broken livelihoods, and climate suffering.
Projects like EACOP are not symbols of progress; they are symbols of exploitation.
We refuse to stay silent while our future is traded for oil profits.
This is our soil.
Our people.
Our heritage.
And we will defend it.
During this Global Week of Action, we rise with one voice across Africa to demand climate justice and kick polluters off our continent.
The time for resistance is now.

Fossil fuel companies like @TotalEnergies often tout development, yet decades of oil extraction in Global South countries have not lifted communities out of poverty. The reality is pollution, loss of livelihoods, environmental degradation, and climate change. #KickPollutersOut!
Africa cannot develop on energy that everyday people cannot afford! Right now, our communities are choosing between buying food and paying skyrocketing energy bills driven by volatile fossil fuels.

Revolutionary greetings to our Dear Kyambogo University fraternity. As you go the polls today, bear in mind that you have the power and the opportunity to make your voices heard, not just at your campus but across the nation. It is the duty of your generation to put your best foot forward. If I were you, I would seize the moment and vote for comrade Okello to lead the charge. Let’s do this together.

Dozens of anti-EACOP activists have been arrested today during a peaceful march to @KCBGroupBank, protesting its decision to fund the pipeline. The protest came just days after we published an article on flooding caused by ongoing EACOP construction in Kyotera.
crackdown on climate protesters in Uganda is setting “a dangerous precedent”. @XRebellionUK

Marching with a petition is NOT a crime. But 11 youth activists are on trial for doing just that opposing @KCBGroup's support for the destructive #EACOP project. We say: Drop the charges. Defend our rights.

Climate financing denial leads to climate injustices. Governments at national and international level , private sectors invest in activities such as afforestation, reforestation, renewable energy sources that mitigate climate change as opposed to fossil fuels #Climatejustice

@kcbbankug lured 11 peaceful #StopEACOP activists into their basement, where they were ambushed and arrested on false charges. Their crime? Attempting to deliver a letter about the bank's involvement in the destructive #EACOP pipeline. #FreeTheKCB11 #StopEACOP

At the 2025 Global Parliamentary Forum co-organized by the World Bank Group & International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington DC-USA i questioned IMF over the inequity in the Fragile & Conflict-Affected States strategy where countries like DRC get less support.#SpringMeetings2025

Quite disturbing that @KCBUganda chose an unnecessary violent suppression over dialogue. What is it about this controversial #EACOP project that even reputable banks like @KCBGroup would rather detain peaceful activists in their basement? Shame on you @KCBUganda #StopEACOP
Photos: Today, @stopEACOP activists went to KCB to deliver their petion trying to convince @KCBGroup not fund the deadly EACOP. They were recieved only later for the petition not to be taken. @kcbbankug conived with the police & 11 activists were arrested in the KCB basement.

BREAKING 🚨: Equinor is re-rebranding back to Statoil after slashing their renewables targets and doubling down on oil and gas.
This is NOT a company serious about the energy transition.

🤔 What if communities could take charge of their own energy? 💡 The Sekhukhune Combined Mining Affected Communities #SCMAC are leading the way with a bold vision: socially owned renewable energy—a decentralised system where people, not corporations, control energy production. It’s ambitious but possible! #EnergyJustice
