Sicilianews24.it: Proteste delle comunità keniote contro la costruzione di una centrale nucleare vicino al Lago Vittoria.

Proteste contro la centrale nucleare a Sakwa
Il 21 maggio, i residenti di Sakwa, nel sud-est del Kenya, si sono riuniti per protestare contro il piano del governo di costruire una centrale nucleare vicino alle loro abitazioni, lungo le sponde del Lago Vittoria. Questo lago, il più grande bacino di acqua dolce dell’Africa, è condiviso da Kenya, Uganda e Tanzania e ha un’importanza cruciale per le comunità locali.
Sakwa, situata nella Contea di Siaya, è storicamente abitata dalla tribù Luo e si trova in una delle zone più ecologicamente sensibili della regione. Ecco perché l’annuncio della costruzione di una centrale nucleare da 2.000 megawatt, reso noto dal presidente kenyano William Ruto durante la Conferenza Internazionale sull’Energia Nucleare nel marzo 2026, ha suscitato forti preoccupazioni.

Protests against the nuclear power plant in Sakwa

On May 21st, residents of Sakwa, in southeastern Kenya, gathered to protest the government’s plan to build a nuclear power plant near their homes, along the shores of Lake Victoria. This lake, the largest freshwater basin in Africa, is shared by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania and is crucial for local communities.

Sakwa, located in the Siaya County, has historically been inhabited by the Luo tribe and is situated in one of the region’s most ecologically sensitive areas. This is why the announcement of the construction of a 2,000-megawatt nuclear power plant, revealed by Kenyan President William Ruto during the International Nuclear Energy Conference in March 2026, has raised strong concerns.
