Four environmental groups have filed a law suit against the French group TotalEnergies and its EACOP oil project in Tanzania and Uganda. They maintain that it threatens the region's fragile ecosystem and the people who live there.
Lawyers confirmed on Monday a report in the French daily Le Monde that Darwin Climax Coalitions, Sea Shepherd France, Wild Legal and Stop EACOP-Stop Total in Uganda filed a complaint on 22 September.
