What you need to know about the Uganda-Tanzania $3.5bn oil deal - BBC Africa

- Uganda and Tanzania have entered a partnership to build a 1,443km (896 mile) heated oil pipeline to pump oil from the Albertine basin in Uganda to Tanzania’s Indian Ocean port of Tanga.
What does the deal mean for both countries? Why were environmentalists against the project? And why was Kenya left out?
BBC Africa's Peter Mwangangi explains.

The oil is for president museveni and his family
@@pointblank4121😂😂😂
East Africa : oil
America : did I hear there’s a country that needs freedom!
Thanks for dodging the real reason why Uganda choose Tanzania instead of Kenya.
Two tigers can't leave on the same hill!
Kenyans are awake. They would not have shut their eyes to some of the crap that comes with this.
When they did this with Ghana they promised so much money and jobs. The locals got nothing. All the construction work was outsourced to Chinese workers.
@888 don't forget they polluted the Ghana ocean making it harder for the fisher men
Wow! Some angles never change. Do not blame who is chosen for cheap labor no matter what you do. That trick has been used since before Caesar, it perfectly describes what happened during rail road production in America 100 years ago and still done across the world anywhere crooks got rich off of drilling the planet for profit. They need to go rescue everyone forced and tricked into working what some call sweat shops.
@@ragantate3995 educate yourself
Good point, all lies on paper.
@Jay Theboss Ghanaians do not profited from the oil sales that's his point and its seems right.
We hope for the best. But you might find the construction is given to the Chinese Engineers who go on to bring their fellow Chinese to do even the minor work making the local Ugandans not benefiting from the project.
Sounds like the way it was done for the railroad industry in America 100 years ago.
😂😂😂How many Ugandans can do this job?

How can an entire continent engage with a French contractor Total ? Do we don’t have companies in Africa that can extract and refine ? If not then that’s the priority.
Now they have "ebola" and threatening Kenya with war... sonof musevenihasbeenbought...same old tactics from the west but as usual Africans are sleeping
Because they have the expertise, experience, supply chain and the ability to build it efficiently and at cost. To do the RND needed to match them requires a huge investment in capital which simply isn't there right now at least for this project. There are countries around Africa where people are extracting/ refining the recourses themselves... for example Nigeria's state-owned oil company and the private owned 19billion dollar Dangote oil refinery that is also in Nigeria.
It involves too much technical know how which Africans don't have yet, let alone refining
@@CorncropTv sadly TOTAL is corrupt!!
Tanzania 🇹🇿 and Uganda 🇺🇬.
Respect to all. From Martin in Ireland
Love that africans are making it by themselves I’m from west Africa I hope my country follows your step
The problem is if there are environmental disasters to the great lakes region of Uganda, the entire planet is at risk and everyone in East Africa will suffer the worst of it. Just imagine oil getting into Lake Victoria! That would be a crisis beyond anything we have seen in East Africa. The wise thing to do is for African leaders to learn from the mistakes the West made by destroying so much of the planet already through the fossil fuel industry. I would love to see Africa lead the world through sustainable clean energy and be the leaders of a better future. Uganda is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet in terms of biodiversity. The nature and wildlife of Uganda is worth more than a few billion dollars. The beauty of Uganda is priceless.
Oh my God...
Do you mean they transport without transform into usable products?
VALUE ADDITION IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM WITH AFRICA. why not refine the oil within Uganda and export the products instead????
Thanks Uganda and Kampala
Don’t hope but expect this to lead to more wealth for the regions.
I hope I hope man
It's not true that oil in Uganda was discovered in 2006. The presence of oil was a fact that was known during the colonial era.
As augandan if this was done by another government i would be so excited but this seems to be between M7 and the current president of tz but not between the 2 countries.
Will the Uganda people benefit from the oil income.
Nope because the agreement is between M7 and Tz not Uganda and Tz.
With that much oil why not build a refinery instead of exporting crude oil?
The refinery is also being build and also you need to know in the near future oil engines are going to be replaced by electric engine making oil useless.
@@arinagereciano178 Africa has a population of 1.2 billion people and this is expected to double by 2050, away from the western world's hypocritical global warming nonsense how do you expect africa to develop without oil?
@@arinagereciano178 Plastics are still needed
I expect, All the areas that pipeline will cross should at least be benefited with basic human needs and services
Which is impossible
@@joank256 the money obtained will instead benefit other places , this is not healthy
Just part of neo colonisation. They just think we are total fools.
Kenya is seating back and watch while there brothers makes mistakes 😂😂😂😂 because Uganda doesn't want Kenya to benefit,
What do you mean they don't want us to benefit..... nyinyi ni wale wakenya huongea kama wapumbavu...
@@mpendakiswahili3053 it’s very true. Uganda’s move of selling off its shares to Total Energies is a huge mistake. Research on Nigeria’s oil exploration and you will understand.
@@thirdfloor81 and what does that have to do with Kenya benefitting... Kenya is un stable, for business.....maandamano kila pahali..... Uganda is better off with our brothers tz...huko hakuna siasa za upuzi
Katiba mpya ya Kenya ilikuja kupitia maandamano. Asiyejua maana ya jambo haambiwi. I personally don’t like minerals in Africa because it’s attracted so many foreign interests and local conflicts. Hongera. Sisi tuko poa.
@@thirdfloor81 woiiii, kama kuna nchi ina katiba ya mbovu, ni hii ya Kenya......a constitution is supposed to revolve around the culture of the locals.....not copy pasting British laws
What do they have to do with it? Uganda is in Africa and she is an Independent nation that have the right to devlop and help her people so what can't they mind their business? They have built so many pipelines for gas and oil in Europe without concern and requesting for Africans countries approval,and where were their sense of human and environmenatl protecting when the Europeans were building their pipeline
Mama
Its impossible to be finished by 2025, 2030 thats wen the project will be in operational this is according to my experience in this field of oil en gas
Each and everything that is I discovered in Africa has nothing to deal-with a local African
Oh ! That's why Museveni is doing cross training?
Yeah, opposition all the time
But you can't compare kenya to Tanzania in terms of security, TZ is far way and it is safe than kenya
That's true Tanzania kuna amani...
@@mpendakiswahili3053 sio kweli.In Tanzania we have calmness bt not peace.Na ndio maana unaweza ukafanyika upuuzi sometimes,na hakuna mtu wa kuhoji wala kubisha .

@@mpendakiswahili3053 🤣🤣🤣🤣Kumbe umegundua hili..Huyu siyo MtZ kabisa🤣🤣🤣
The country didn’t want the pipeline. Total wanted just the pipeline but Uganda only wanted the oil and refinery. The pipeline was a compromise.
Fyi it's Iddi Amin that discovered the mineral resources and the map was stolen by Obote later on by Museveni
10,000 jobs for Chinese
BBC news Africa, point to correct; the agreement is between museveni and tanzania not Uganda and Tanzania
That's why america is trying to go Electric
Part of oil to be refined in Uganda and other part to export as crude why country could not fully refine, investors also have terms. Kenya pipeline Tullow pulled out so deal flopped and its leadership failed its people, perhaps they saw alot of leverage and TZ Magufukuli gave Ug better terms and M7 considered President Mwalimu Julius Nyerere contributions to African liberation from colonial mehem, u reap where u sow.
Ugandan is paying the debt(baseveni)
China again??
/.🗺🇨🇳✔( За КПР !!! ✔СССР !!!✔).
Uganda and Tanzania are friendly than Kenya
lye lye its only for europeans and foreghners its nothing to do with ugandan people or tanzanians
Tell museven to ask Russia 4 help.
If i was president id asked Russia 4 support
Made several trips to Moscow for the refinery. Russia by then was not trusting Uganda who was too much prowestern. It's only lately that Museveni woke up from his slimpets and turned Russian
Foolin with the french again?
All that oil and they poor
Something in this deal and in the presentation is odd. Much of the oil that Uganda claim to be his, is found in Congo side. How can Uganda sign the deal of exportation while Congo so called "leaders" are absent? Now, dear Africans you understand the plan of these western multi-nationals destabilization of Congo and its control?
the situation in Congo D.R: the human suffering trough wars, weakened state, and disorder was plotted for a longtime by Multinationals in U.S(UN), U.K, France, Belgium with people like the CLINTON'S, the Blair's, etc. Then, they sponsored a war through their Sub-contractors (Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, S.Africa, Angola, etc). Thus, all these have their executants (the so called rebels, Joseph Kabila, Félix Tshisekedi.) these are the one carrying out the order as planned. Do you want to know what is the plan? To do everything possible to keep Congo in a weak state so that all these groups can plunder the wealth of Congo, and if possible, to divide Congo into small weak states.

Oh please continue complaining
Uganda has a oil why Uganda is so poor??
The oil is still in the ground
Poor Kenya. We have failed to secure our borders, our soldiers are betraying each other for a mouthful from terrorist and now we see the cost!
Hapa tulipoteza big time.... sisi ufisadi, ukabila...tuna mashida mingi ...
