GN Dozens of student activists were arrested on Friday as they marched to Uganda’s parliament to deliver a petition against a controversial multi-billion-dollar oil development scheme, police and their lawyers said. The students were protesting a huge project headed by French oil giant TotalEnergies which involves drilling for oil in Uganda and sending the crude to Tanzania for export. Environmental groups say it is having dire consequences for local communities and the environment as drilling is going on in Murchison Falls National Park, the largest protected area in Uganda.
