Africa accounts for around 10 per cent of the world's known
fossil-fuel reserves. But plans to build an oil pipeline through
East Africa to transport hundreds of thousands of barrels a day
have been condemned by the European Union.

The pipeline, which runs from the source in Uganda to the
Tanzanian coast, will generate billions of dollars a year. But
critics say it will release tens of millions of tonnes of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere.

In this programme we hear from the people involved in the fight
over the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, and find out if they
think it will go ahead.

Presenters Dickens Olewe and Graihagh Jackson are joined by
