Hi John
There ain't nothing dodgy about that, right?! 🤮 |

This week, XRUK stood with allies including Stop EACOP, Women of Colour and 350 Africa to shed light on the real purpose of The Africa Energies Summit - "Big oil makes multibillion-dollar profits while marginalising and impoverishing millions of Africans, who suffer disasters, loss of livelihoods and human rights violations." [1] |

Our presence exposed the brutal truth - companies exploit Africa to feed greed and hose it down with greenwashing propaganda. Meanwhile...
🥵 17 of the 20 countries most threatened by climate breakdown are in Africa 🌪️ 6 of Africa's deadliest weather events have occurred since 2022 💰 Despite being among Africa's biggest oil producers, South Sudan is the world's poorest country and Nigeria has the highest share of global population living in extreme poverty 🛢️ The majority of fossil fuel companies exploiting Africa are foreign owned |

Voices of resistance movements from across Africa were amplified this week. We rallied together to make a clear demand: Africa's energy system should be owned by Africans and work for Africans.
A future that everyone must see is one where Africa's renewable energy potential is realised - it has 39% of the worlds potential, more than any other continent. So, until progress is made "we fight not because we are belligerent but because our lives depend on fighting" as Hardi Yakubu, from Africans Rising, said. |
