21 Detained as Protests Erupt Over Controversial Oil Project
In Uganda, authorities have detained 21 individuals who were protesting against an oil project. The demonstrators were reportedly voicing their opposition to the development of an oil exploration project in the country, which they claim poses environmental and social risks.
The detentions occurred during a series of protests organized by local groups concerned about the potential negative impacts of the project on local communities and ecosystems. The Ugandan government has yet to release specific details about the charges against the detained individuals.
Protests against large-scale oil projects have been a significant issue in Uganda, where concerns about environmental degradation and displacement of communities are prevalent. The project in question is part of Uganda’s broader efforts to harness its oil reserves, which are seen as a potential economic boon but also raise environmental and human rights concerns.
