Case against pipeline project delays in Arusha Wednesday April 21 2021 Summary NGOs are now seeking a permanent injunction against the republic of Uganda, Tanzania and the East African Community, whom they have sued, from constructing the pipeline through protected areas, among other orders. Advertisement A case seeking to stop construction of the oil pipeline from Uganda to Tanzania for failing to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment has failed to take off even as the two countries proceed with implementation of the project. In November last year, four non-governmental organisations moved to the East African Court of Justice to block the construction of the 1,445-kilometre pipeline which starts in Hoima in the Albertine Graben, western Uganda, and ends at Tanga port in Tanzania.
