Students Hold Anti-EU Protest Over Uganda Oil Row

Hundreds of Ugandan students are demonstrating against the European Union parliament after it opposed an oil pipeline project with neighboring Tanzania.  <br />EU lawmakers earlier passed a resolution warning of human rights abuses and the social and environmental risk posed by the project. <br />The students are marching in the capital, Kampala, to deliver a petition to the EU mission. <br />The demo appears state-sanctioned and the students are walking with police escort. <br />Once complete, the pipeline will stretch 1,443km from Lake Albert in western Uganda to the Tanzanian port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean.
