The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has called for a boycott of Western countries and climate change advocates opposed to the development of the continent’s oil and gas sector, in its latest sparring with the developed world to protest what it describes as a move to perpetuate energy poverty.
In a statement released July 13, the Johannesburg-based AEC said that Western elites are using the global climate crisis to “disrupt African progress” by waging campaigns for their multinationals to discontinue investments in the African energy sector.
