🎙️ This Saturday on @stopeacop.bsky.social’s Beyond Crude Podcast: @dontgasafrica.bsky.social’s Karabo Mokgonyana breaks down the #DrawTheLine campaign and why justice must be at the center of climate action. Learn more at drawtheline.world

This weekend, people in over 90 countries are taking to the streets to #DrawTheLine against injustice, fossil fuels and the billionaires that fund them. We discuss that in our latest episode of #BeyondCrudePod dropping tomorrow. Here's Karabo from @dontgasafrica.bsky.social providing background

ACS2 showed progress, and Ethiopia is on a serious RE investment path, proving we can develop without harming our ecosystem. However, false solutions like carbon markets and greenwashing persist. Read our wrap-up blog. #StopEACOP!

We were present at ACS-2! It began with a powerful People's Assembly where civil society organizations came together to strategize key priorities. Omar Elmawi, convener of Africa Movement of Movements, shared why this fight matters. #StopEACOP #ClimateJustice #ACS2 #ACS2025

Fossil fuels are fuelling destruction: displacing communities, harming wildlife & driving climate catastrophe. African voices must lead, not polluters, not corporations, not foreign governments. #AfricanClimateSummit #CommunityPower #StopEACOP @stopeacop.bsky.social @350africa.bsky.social

Faith Actors Briefing underway in Addis. Faith leaders are calling for stewardship and justice. Bishop Coffi Roger affirms our moral responsibility to oppose projects that harm communities and the environment. #ACS2 #StopEACOP

Fossil fuel protests sweep across Africa. People from Senegal to Uganda protesting health harms, community displacement, environmental damage from encroaching Western 'fossil fuel colonialists" @stopeacop.bsky.social @stand.earth youtu.be/fYGzDYEQzbA?...

#EACOP has displaced 100,000 people in Uganda and Tanzania. They are not the only ones affected by fossil fuels. See how Africa is fighting back in our wrap-up blog on the #KickTotalOutOfAfrica week of action from August 18 to 24. #KickPollutersOut! www.stopeacop.net/our-news/com...

📣 Here's the complete episode 11 of the #BeyondCrudePod, now available on Spotify as well. Many thanks to Antoine from @reclaimfinance.org for his insights on understanding the bond purchases. #StopEACOP! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX3b...

👏 👏 👏 #StopEACOP coordinator Zaki Mamdoo reading Standard Bank the riot act here during the Kick Total Out of Africa week of action. We stand with these activists to demand Africa's largest bank withdraw from EACOP, Mozambique LNG and TotalEnergies.

Following the online tribunal, EACOP and the oil-project-affected communities in Uganda convened for an in-person tribunal to present their case before the court of public opinion. The tribunal supported their plea: total pay up and get out! #KickPollutersOut! #StopEACOP!

🚨#BeyondCrudePod episode 11 drops tomorrow! ▶️Our Coordinator, ZakiMamdoo, discusses why communities want Total to pay up & get out! ▶️Antoine with @reclaimfinance.org discusses how 7 major banks funnelled €3 billion to TotalEnergies, which it could use for the #EACOP project. #KickPollutersOut!

StopEACOP Movement calls for an end to harmful oil projects and demands a just transition... @stopeacop.bsky.social @just-stopoil.bsky.social @stopfundinghate.bsky.social Read more: witnessradio.org/stopeacop-mo...

“The demonstrations are part of the ‘kick Total Energies out of Africa campaign’ due to legitimate concerns and extreme frustration over the devastation and hyper-exploitation, and the distraction caused by Total in its various extractive fossil fuel ventures..." www.citizen.co.za/rosebank-kil...

Zaki Mamdoo, Campaign Coordinator at @stopeacop.bsky.social speaking at the #KickTotalOutOfAfrica protest, called out Standard Bank for supporting the EACOP project. #StopEACOP #KickTotalOutOfAfrica #fossiladbansa #fossiladban

✊ Communities across Africa are uniting to say NO! #KickTotalOutofAfrica @stopeacop.bsky.social @fossilfreesa.bsky.social #fossiladbansa #fossiladban #KickPollutersOut #StopEACOP

🚨 Standard Bank is the ONLY South African bank funding Mozambique LNG & #EACOP, fueling displacement, ecosystem destruction, & neo-colonial extractivism. While others ditch fossil fuels, they profit over people, undermining climate justice. #StopEACOP #KickPollutersOut #KTOA

Comrades in South Africa have hit the streets. Close to 300 community members and climate activists are marching from the Standard Bank HQ to the Total HQ in Rosebank, JHB. #KickTotalOutOfAfrica #KickPollutersOut #StopEACOP

The #KickTotalOutOfAfrica week of action is ON! Yesterday, we kicked off the event with a community town hall in the Niger Delta. The Ogbogu community in Rivers State, home to Total Energy’s Oil Mining License (OML) 58 flow station, is standing up and speaking out! #StopEACOP #KickPollutersOut!

Enough, is enough! #StopEACOP!

After 3 months in prison and 8 court adjournments, the #KCB11 activists are finally home. But this timeline (attached) shows the real strategy: exhaust, drain, intimidate. This isn't justice. It's a masterclass in how fossil fuel interests silence dissent. Next hearing: August 26th. #StopEACOP!

Developing countries now “have credible legal avenue to seek damages and have their demands met,” said Harj Narulla, a barrister acting for the Solomon Islands in the ICJ proceedings. ft.com/content/8cfd... via @financialtimes.com

We refuse business as usual. We raise our banner from the frontline communities in Uganda, Tanzania, and the DRC to continue refusing profits above people, the climate, and the environment. This coming September, we will join others in the streets to DRAW THE LINE! #StopEACOP!

Quick update on the #KCB11 ▶️Finally, they've been granted cash bail ▶️More updates about the proceedings to follow ▶️ We must not forget they were in jail for nearly 3months. That's 85 days away from family & loved ones. Months stolen for peacefully opposing #EACOP! #StopEACOP

"They had gone through normal procedure...the next thing that happened was that police came and arrested them." This is what happens when you ask African banks like #KCB to stop funding climate destruction. 85days in jail for opposing #EACOP #Justice4TheKCB11 #StopEACOP! fm4.orf.at/stories/3048...

"There have been several postponements under various pretexts...[t]his is not normal, especially since the bank does not want to file a complaint. In my opinion, these are simply deliberate efforts to dissuade the population from opposing the pipeline," #StopEACOP! fr.mongabay.com/2025/07/en-o...

The #KCB11 are 11 Ugandan activists who were arrested on April 23rd. They were peacefully attempting to deliver a letter to KCB Bank Uganda about its finance for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline #EACOP. They remain in custody.

🚨 Update on the #KCB11 case: ▶️The Chief Magistrate refused to reassign the case. ▶️Court has again adjourned the matter to July 17, when the presiding magistrate is back from leave. ▶️The 11 will have spent 85 days in jail for peacefully protesting #EACOP! We demand #Justice4KCB11

📢Rejoignez-nous pour réclamer justice pour les travailleurs du secteur pétrolier en Ouganda ! On leur avait promis des emplois. Au lieu de cela, beaucoup ont été victimes de blessures graves, d'abus sexuels et de licenciements abusifs ! #Justice4OilWorkers #StopEACOP Voici leurs témoignages👇

One, Frank Atuhura raised safety concerns at work. TotalEnergy's response? 👉Refused proper training 👉Didn't pay for completed work 👉Fired him When workers speak up, TotalEnergies silences them. #Justice4OilWorkers #StopEACOP

We're supporting an X (Twitter) storm by our partners, AFIEGO, to raise awareness about TotalEnergies' exploitation of workers in the oil sector. Climate/environmental destruction and workers' exploitation are two sides of the same coin. We condemn both and call for #Justice4OilWorkers #StopEACOP!

#BeyondCrudePod episode 10 is live! We had an insightful conversation with Lucien from Natural Justice & Juliette from @amisdelaterre.org about: ▶️The #EACOP case at the EACJ & in France ▶️Total's greenwashing case & ▶️Climate litigation 🎙️ Full episode ⏩ open.spotify.com/episode/5IUR...

📢Update on the #KCB11 🚩The matter has again been adjourned to 11th July 🚩The Chief Magistrate is yet to handle the complaint by the #KCB11 lawyers to transfer the file to another judicial officer ▶️The #KCB11 will have spent 79days in jail by the next hearing #StopEACOP!

Six of these seven banks said they would not finance Total's East African Crude Oil Pipeline directly. Yet this money could fund EACOP through the back door! This is why banks must rule out all new finance to companies like Total until they stop fossil fuel expansion. @stopeacop.bsky.social

“It’s hard to imagine a more vivid picture of corporate-state collusion than activists being led into a trap and arrested for trying to share their concerns about a fossil fuel project characterized by rights and environmental harms,” #StopEACOP #FreeTheKCB11 cri.org/uganda-relea...

🚨 Quick update on the #KCB11 ▶️ The hearing is coming up tomorrow, July 2nd ▶️ They will have spent 70 days in jail since they were arrested in the #KCBUganda basement on April 23rd. We continue to condemn what we see as the weaponization of the Ugandan judiciary and the silence of #KCBGroup

This week (22-28 June), #OurLandWithoutOil coalition, is leading actions to raise awareness about new oil and gas expansions driven by multinational corporations and the Congolese government. We join them in calling on Africans to resist prioritising profit over people and their environment.
