Download Why is a new oil pipeline between Uganda and Tanzania controversial?
This week, a group of NGOs took TOTAL – the lead investor in a new pipeline between Uganda and Tanzania - to court.
They’re asking a French court to protect local people and the environment from the adverse impacts of the project.
TOTAL refutes all allegations and says they are protecting the rights of local communities and will make sure the project has a positive impact.
Meanwhile, people in Uganda are divided over whether the project is an economic opportunity, or a recipe for disaster.
