StopEACOPScot update

A group of Scottish Quakers StopEACOPScot have joined an international campaign against EACOP, the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. 

StopEACOPScot members have been in touch with local people in Uganda who are bravely protesting at risk to themselves in defence of their environment and their livelihoods: they deserve our support.

The oil company Total is driving the construction phase, but there are also Chinese interests as well as a small contribution from each of Uganda and Tanzania.  We are campaigning to try to persuade insurers and potential investors (such as the Lothian Pension Fund), to commit that they will not invest in Total or insure the EACOP project.
