Comments on: NO to oil drilling in Virunga and Upemba, YES to green investment in DRC https://africanconservation.org/conservation-threats/no-to-oil-drilling-in-virunga-and-upemba-yes-to-green-investment-in-drc/ Fri, 19 Aug 2022 09:28:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: ACF https://africanconservation.org/conservation-threats/no-to-oil-drilling-in-virunga-and-upemba-yes-to-green-investment-in-drc/#comment-80 Fri, 19 Aug 2022 09:28:18 +0000 https://africanconservation.org/?p=24168#comment-80 Our point in this article is that any country can develop without oil revenues. Oil is old technology, old power structures, old thinking. Oil revenues don’t contribute to local economies. Let’s build economies based on new, sustainable, regenerative technologies. We don’t have a choice anyway; it is the only way forward for new generations that will have to live with the consequences of climate change caused by previous generations.

Is DRC your skapegoat? Being among the richest countries in natural resources BUT you’re classifying it the 7th poorest country in Africa with a suffering population.
No to slavery, keeping the ecosystem of the world for you to prosper without any compensation that can develop DRC.
We must make profit of our oil to develop the country.
IT’S UNFAIR !

Because at this moment Virunga is home to all the militias in the Eastern region of the Congo.
If you do stop the war then we can all peacefully plant trees and save the world
