The EU’s hydrogen push in North Africa is sold as climate progress, but beneath the green gloss lies a familiar story of extraction, debt, and dispossession. @SABERAMMAR17 shares why https://t.co/LvHCgbvbwJ

The EU is about to ensure that European heavy industry get access to South Africa's critical raw materials and hydrogen... and what does South Africa get in return? Debt and continued extractivist colonialism @groundWorkSA @BenToumert @TNInstitute @SABERAMMAR17

A powerful message from the Ultras group Eagles 09 in Gabes (the city slated to become Tunisia’s green hydrogen hub) expressing their strong rejection of the planned green hydrogen projects.

What I did for 3 years? I worked my ass off building @TNInstitute's Power Power files.
A deep dive on how to reclaim energy and break the fossil fuel cycle by Rowan Mataram, James Angel & myself.
Time to take back control: Public Power is the future!

“Where people face repression and rights violations every day, activists see a clearer connection... We can’t talk about the climate if we can’t even go out on the street and hold a sign. Climate activism and human rights are united.”

Forcibly removing hundreds of thousands of people from Northern Gaza under threat of execution is textbook ethnic cleansing. There is no other way to describe it.
A brutally honest and gut-wrenching op-ed from Palestinian author @susanabulhawa on the atrocities committed in Gaza, cheered on by Israelis society. For saying it was a holocaust, @guardianopinion pulled her piece. Thanks to @novaramedia for publishing 🍉

If your government is conducting or assisting a genocide, and doing it in the face of overwhelming popular opposition, then you do not live in a democracy. Your ruling class does whatever it wants. This is a core problem and people need to grapple with it.
The EU's push towards a green hydrogen economy is a new form of energy imperialism, exploiting resources from the Global South for its own benefits.

Is the neocolonial @DESERTEC back?
New report from think tank Rystad makes the case (again) for EU imports of RES from North Africa.
@RystadEnergy who paid you to write the report?

#Greenhydrogen: #Africa is not #Europe’s battery
Like elsewhere, #Tunisia’s rush of proposed green hydrogen projects prioritise Europe’s needs over its own.

#Tunisie#Total : l’UE utilise l’Afrique « comme une batterie pour alimenter ses besoins. » au détriment des ressources en eau et des terres agricoles.

Debunking future green hydrogen export selling points from North Africa:
The plan is to use 248 million m³ of desalinated water by 2050, the consumption of five million Tunisians -half the population of one of the most water-scarce countries in the world

While writing this op-ed, six new MOUs for exporting green hydrogen to Europe from Tunisia were signed with foreign corporations. Meanwhile, the country faces energy cuts and water scarcity, leading to a social crisis.
