Does East Africa need another oil pipeline?

Published: May 5, 2021, 1 a.m.

East Africa is not done with oil \u2013 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.

But activists worry about the impact the project will have on the environment.

Amid a global climate emergency, they also say it\u2019s misguided to invest in fossil fuels.

So why does this project matter so much? And how will it affect everyone\u2019s lives?
