I speak for the silenced. My steps shift injustice,I act through fear. My impact is real. Ideas outlast jails,truth outlasts threats,dignity outlasts oppression
#PEARLSWEET is indeed a very good name. Whoever came up with it must be the best genius,the world has ever had.
The wild species that have lost their habitats along the construction areas can testify that #PEARLSWEET is truly finger-licking good. 😂☠️
The same can be said for the species and natural habitats affected in Murchison Falls National Park, Taala Central Forest Reserve, and other environmentally sensitive areas impacted by the oil project.
I will not even mention the PAPs, whose mouths must be watering and whose saliva must be dripping from the intense sweetness of #PEARLSWEET.
Truly, what a sweet deal! 🍭

Asadu after 15 years in Parliament, is this really what you have reduced yourself to? Sitting on TikTok Live collecting little money from poor people? It is shameful and embarrassing, you're a conman.
Irregular rainfall, prolonged droughts, floods and rising temperatures are putting farmers, food systems and vulnerable communities under growing pressure, we the young people must be at the centre of the climate response not just only as beneficiaries, but as leaders, innovators and decision-makers.
An investment into youth climate education, advocacy, climate-smart and locally led sustainable solutions that strengthen community resilience.
Our country’s climate resilience future depends on what we do today.

Why The youth are not asking to be heard tomorrowthey are speaking now. Uganda can choose an economy that puts people, climate resilience and clean energy before oil dependency. The future must be just. #StopEACOP#NoNewOil
Fossil fuels are killing us. They drive the climate crisis, poison our air & water, destroy livelihoods, displace communities, and fuel corruption & human rights abuses. The oil money is not for the people, the climate debt is. We need clean energy, not deadly oil. #StopEACOP
Important Update: 17 of our members were singled out and arrested from a large group of over 500 people that marched today to @Parliament_Ug and at @TotalEnergies headquarters in Uganda with an aim of drawing attention to an urgent need for an oil free economy, economic freedom and halt to further oil infrastructure development in Uganda.
Uganda Police and other security forces used excessive force against the peaceful protesters who have reported to have sustained injuries during the arrests and beatings by security personnels in the course of taking them to the different police station. The 10 people that were arrested at the Parliament of Uganda are currently detained at the Central Police Station in Kampala and the 7 people arrested at the Headquarters of Total Energies are currently detained at Wandegeya Police Station.
Rooted in Resistance condemns this brutal force and demands justice served to these brave activists that are refusing to give in amidst an urgent need for an oil free economy and economic freedom in our lifetime.

@NtandaHamim I strongly condemn the brutal, inhuman and degrading arrest of peaceful youth climate and environmental defenders today in Kampala. Dragging an unarmed female protester on the ground is torture and violates Articles 24, 29 & 44(a) of the 1995 Constitution of Uganda.

PICTORIAL : Parliamentary police have arrested youth activists from Rooted in Resistance as they marched to Parliament to petition against the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in Uganda.
The activists are calling for an oil-free economy, urging government to redirect investments towards agriculture, tourism, renewable energy and manufacturing, while reviewing existing petroleum policies over concerns about environmental degradation and limited benefits to ordinary Ugandans.
