United We Stand! ✊🏾
The Niger Delta's Ogoniland is a powerful testament to community resilience. Despite oil corporations' exploitation, the people came together, resisted, and built solidarity. Let's draw inspiration from their story and learn how collective action can protect our environment and rights. #powertothepeople #KickTotalOutOfAfrica

The climate crisis is real!
It is real to many in the Global South who have had to relocate because of rising sea levels, lost houses due to floods, and experienced food shortages due to prolonged droughts.
Denying it won't make it less real...

We stand in solidarity with the #KCB11!
#StopEACOP
🚨 Update on the #KCB11
▶️ The magistrate who adjourned the hearing to today went on leave, confirming our decision to call out what we see as the weaponization of the judiciary.
▶️ The lawyers have requested reassignment, and the bail hearing date is now set for July 2nd.

One of the African Energy week event sponsor's is TotalEnergies (@TotalEnergies), a major carbon emitter.
Their presence is not leadership but GREENWASHING through sponsorship.

Every time the West extracts our resources, Africa is left with nothing.
They did it with gold.
They did it with diamonds.
We won’t let them do it with gas.
