Protesters from ecological movement Extinction Rebellion rallied outside a BNP Paribas building in Paris on Friday to oppose the French bank's loan to an oil major leading in an East African oil pipeline project.

Extinction Rebellion said its protest, which was joined by other campaign groups including Fridays for Future, was timed to coincide with the start of drilling by TotalEnergies of exploratory oil wells in Uganda's Murchison Falls National Park.EACOP will stretch 1,443 kilometres from Uganda to Tanzania, with plans to send out up to 246,000 barrels of crude oil per day to international markets via the port of Tanga as early as 2025.

"TotalEnergies is absolutely aware of how sensitive is the area in which it operates and it is committed to take the measures needed to avoid, reduce, compensate its impacts on it," the spokesperson said.
