Voix du Paysan to train and inform citizens: a commitment to social and climate justice
In several regions of Africa, local communities are rising up to denounce the devastation caused by the oil industry, particularly the EACOP project led by TotalEnergies. Women, youth, and community leaders are speaking out against land losses, human rights violations, environmental damage, and the collapse of their livelihoods. In the placards held high and the determined looks, a clear message emerges: Africa is not for sale.
Powerful testimonies in the face of a destructive industry
The gatherings organized in affected communities provide a vital space for voices too often silenced. The stories are poignant: displaced families, polluted rivers, infertile land, broken promises. These testimonies highlight a brutal reality ignored by major companies that prioritize profits over the protection of people and Mother Earth. In response, citizens are demanding that the truth be revealed and that climate justice take precedence over economic interests.
An urgent call for concrete solutions and corporate accountability
These mobilizations show one essential truth: communities are not asking for charity, they are demanding responsibility. They call for answers, reparations, and a just energy transition. Companies like TotalEnergies can no longer ignore the damage they cause. It is time to be held accountable, to listen to the voices on the ground, and to build a future where the rights of people come before profits.
