name is liz that go into the list let's go i'm based in nairobi kenya and here is the president of east africa or the africa energy chamber i'm also an entrepreneur and i own the oil services company a soup nairobi with eastern africa. and well we around east africa so a lot of i've been watching some local t.v. in uganda local news in tanzania paid for some people are very excited about this pipeline super excited about the potential if you could explain in a nutshell what it is what its purpose is what would you say. welcome me this is a world class development that's far too old to happen i came to uganda in 2011 well now tell or was still exploring and there was a lot of excitement as to what was what was ahead of us it has taken us this long to finally see what looks to be the beginning of the pipeline and of the project that to langer as well as the kingfish development. so yes they. will bring all the oil development will bring a lot of jobs as was mentioned by your former guest is also a big factor in the economic drive for uganda like any and it projects but also where those of us who

certainly on that day and at the same time i was in the meeting we've fellow colleagues and from east africa and across the continent and they were exactly reflecting on how can we do it but in this particular moment how can we come up we've new ways innovative ways such anabelle ones to ensure that the planet gets back better after the pandemic and i was inspired to write a bill for president to get there we might call it one is and i got it was a not a client you're going to meet activists telling them our concern tell him in expressing our really great and deep concern about the development of this project because one of the concerns the concerns are multiple multiple we have not only environmental concerns but also social injustices economy concerns as well and the whole. lack of transparency and lack of information around it is property so we feel this is a project which is going to be a socially catastrophic indeed has already for many of the affected communities this is a project which is likely to be disastrous for the environment because. it emitted that was constructed the pup plan

if i make any i think i think sometimes it puts too much emphasis on just the jobs remember the east africa cop as you call it is just one part of a development you have the. development that's the field themselves and then you have the refinery and i don't know if you're aware that uganda being a land locked country relies in kenya to cost for all its refined products comes to the 41 basket and taken by road up to uganda this is a lot. for uganda to be able to be become more self sustaining by building and finally they also be able to sell products within within the region and sell the excess to the markets yes i agree with my colleagues that we are making though there is an energy transition but that transition is no heart stopped . local to say that in 2035 we're all going to new york will energy kenya is a country where you will energy strong where the largest just some or provider in africa but we still have an energy mix we still use fossil fuels so my argument is that if we are able to do develop this particular target this world class project the weight should be that is best in cla

there is all this talk about islamic state in west africa, in the sahara, in east africa and in southa, but when you look at the chain of command, it doesn't make sense. because when you see the way isil has been operating in syria and iraq, it was a different mindset and mechanism. >> that is true, the islamic state really is indigenous to iraq, so to speak, and to a lesser extent in syria, where it achieved marginal success in 2013-2014, establishing control of administration of land. they never really achieved -- they have never really been able to achieve that level of success they had in iraq and syria in any of the distant provinces, libya only briefly for time in 2015 or 2016. but in all these other places like mozambique, the congo, west africa, it is not the same level of success. but i would stress the ideological angle that it clearly does exist. hashem: joseph, with three big energy companies operating there, exxon mobil and t total, do you see the potential for greater intervention from now onwards? >> i think so. but i think it is the isis or isil link that becomes impor
