New sets of testimony released on 27 November 2025 indicates violations in the Kingfisher Development Area (KFDA) remain ongoing and largely unaddressed, despite public commitments by the companies driving the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP)—TotalEnergies, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), and related contractors such as China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering and NEC Security Services Ltd. Community testimonies describe continuing coercion, intimidation, arbitrary arrests, excessive force, and severe livelihood losses affecting Project Affected Persons (PAPs), particularly fishing-dependent households, with some accounts noting at least three recent arrests and widespread displacement. Reports highlight that promised compensation and jobs have not materialized, security forces including the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) and Fisheries Protection Unit (FPU) continue to restrict movement and assembly, and women and girls face heightened safety risks. The companies’ grievance and monitoring mechanisms—managed by CNOOC and invoked by TotalEnergies—have failed to provide effective redress, with no grievances recorded despite extensive allegations, indicating deep mistrust and inadequate accountability.
