A report by Climate Rights International highlights severe human rights abuses associated with the Kingfisher oil project in Uganda, operated by CNOOC and TotalEnergies. Allegations include forced evictions, sexual violence, and environmental damage, with local residents facing intimidation and inadequate compensation for land loss. Interviews revealed that Ugandan military forces were involved in coercive evictions and destruction of property, creating a climate of fear among the affected communities. Despite claims that the project would bring prosperity, the report describes it as a 'human rights disaster' and urges banks and insurers to withdraw funding. The Kingfisher project is part of a larger initiative involving a 1,443-kilometer heated pipeline to transport oil to Tanzania, with total investments in Uganda’s oil sector expected to reach $15 billion. Ugandan officials, however, defend the project and its potential to alleviate poverty, contrasting sharply with the report's findings.
