On 9th November 2022, the fourth day of the COP27 at Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, about 50 activists from Asia, Africa and the Americas protested in the central Blue Zone of the conference and called for an end to fossil fuel funding and a shift to investment in community-based renewable projects.
Dipti Bhatnagar from ‘Friends of the Earth International’ in Mozambique criticized the gas deal between ‘Total’, a major oil company and the government, which has created an internal conflict and led to a million refugees. She said, “My country is not responsible for the climate crisis, but we’re suffering the effects. Now, rich countries are out to grab the huge gas reserves, and people are being dispossessed of their land. One million people out of the 23 million population are living in refugee camps because of gas. We say no to more gas finance. We won’t let Africa burn.Egyptian authorities have banned protests at the main conference centre where the climate negotiations are taking place and have designated an official special area for protests.
