Uganda, April 17 -- Landowners marched to the High Court in Hoima City Monday protesting a court order that they should be evicted from their land before compensation to make way for the Tilenga Project.

Tilenga Project is the country's biggest upstream development that is operated by French energy giant, TotalEnergies, which will produce 190,000 barrels of oil per day.

Armed with placards inscribed with words like "Don't displace us for oil, stop land grabs for Tilenga!" the landowners stormed the Hoima High Court at around 10am protesting the December 2023 court verdict.
