Environmentalists Target Chinese Financing of Uganda-Tanzania Oil Pipeline

The South China Morning Post published on 22 November 2023 an article titled "China Targeted by Climate Campaigners over Controversial East Africa Oil Pipeline Project" by Jevans Nyabiage.  

Environmental activists in Uganda, Tanzania, DRC and elsewhere are pressuring Chinese financers to back out of an oil pipeline project that runs from Ugandan oilfields to Port Tanga on Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast.  The activists say the pipeline threatens pristine ecosystems, biodiversity hotspots, water resources, and community land.
