Canadian company violated human rights in Namibia, drilling for oil in ecologically sensitive region near Okavango Delta,a UNESCO World Heritage Site,world’s largest protected areas for endangered wildlife, a culturally significant place to San people. nationalobserver.com/2024/04/10/new…

I traveled to the Okavango River Delta last year to report on ReconAfrica's reckless and corrupt pursuit of oil in one of the most fragile ecosystems in Africa. Here's the story:

“Over the course of four years [in Namibia], ReconAfrica has damaged homes, devastated subsistence crops, destroyed land, and potentially contaminated the regions only source of water — all in pursuit of oil”

Alleged environmental pollution, human rights violations and attempts to silence critics are detailed in a new complaint filed with a federal corporate watchdog against Canadian fossil fuel company ReconAfrica. ow.ly/2NVi50RcvnR

Complaint filed with Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise alleges ReconAfrica’s operations violated international human rights, the rights to health, water, food,adequate housing, Indigenous rights of free,prior &informed consent to operations in their territory.

Thanks very much to Nnimmo.

Huge respect.

It's unacceptable that a Canadian oil company will get rich by destroying a UNESCO protected wildlife reserve.

What's outrageous is GAC is assisting this human rights disaster.

The Canadian Ombudsperson (CORE) must take the complaint against ReconAfrica seriously.

Recon’s day of reckoning looms
Oilwatch International Re-Con Africa

NEW: Univ. Toronto Int’l Human Rights Program has filed a complaint against #fracking outfit ReconAfrica after an investigation in Namibia found flagrant violations, drilling w/o permits, forcible occupation of communal lands, intimidation.

“Oil Change International, Earthlife Namibia and others, urged the Toronto Stock Exchange to suspend the listing of ReconAfrica owing to the “ongoing ecological, cultural, human rights, and climatic impact” of its operations.” nationalobserver.com/2024/04/10/new…

If you missed it, last summer we revealed that when ReconAfrica was facing public backlash it reached out to Global Affairs for help. UN Ambassador Bob Rae met with company executives and advised next steps. nationalobserver.com/2023/08/09/inv…

And in July, Niki Ashton and a handful of ENGOs urged the Toronto Stock Exchange to suspend ReconAfrica's share listing. nationalobserver.com/2023/07/17/new…

Still waiting for Elijah to tell us how many shares of ReconAfrica he got. Elijah Ngurare Manongo is worried about hypocrisy apparently, while he works for a Canadian stock scam to dispossess Namibians. We are waiting for him to act like the populist he pretends to be on social media.

The complaint filed with the CORE (federal corporate watchdog) is the latest strategy to hold ReconAfrica accountable. Last summer a complaint was filed with the FBI's white collar crime division and SEC alleging investors have been decieved. nationalobserver.com/2023/08/30/new…
