Honourable Bahame Tom Murkiya Nyanduga, Chairman AU Watch
African Union Watch (AUW), an
independent Pan African NGO, has called on the council of the European Union
(EU) to reject the ‘hateful resolution’ (Resolution
2022/2826/RSP) adopted by the European Parliament on 14/09/2022, seeking
that the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project be disbanded and
calling on EU member states to punish
Tanzania and Uganda for embarking on such a project.
AUW, has drawn attention to
the success recorded to date on the Tanzania-Zambia pipeline built since 1970s
without such prohibitive sanctions. Stating that African countries contribute less
than 4% to global greenhouse emission. Further stating that whilst EU countries
are now exploring coal as an alternative to gas for the survival of its
economy, due to shortage of gas linked to the on-going Ukraine-Russia war,
African countries more so, will continue to pursue legitimately and unhindered the
best options to power their development.
