About a year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with the leadership of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EACOP) in their office at Masaki in Dar es Salaam. They explained what they intended to do and the challenges they were facing. I had the opportunity to ask pertinent questions about EACOP, including why the project faced so much resistance in Europe and not in East Africa.
