East Africa is not done with oil – not quite yet.

A major oil pipeline will soon be built across Uganda and Tanzania.

This could mean good money for both countries, as well as new jobs for people there.

Amid a global climate emergency, they also say it’s misguided to invest in fossil fuels.

So why does this project matter so much? And how will it affect everyone’s lives?
