TotalEnergies hit with lawsuit over 2021 Mozambique jihadist massacre

Seven survivors and relatives of victims of a bloody 2021 jihadist attack in northern Mozambique have launched legal action against France’s TotalEnergies, accusing it of failing to protect contractors at a multi-billion-dollar gas field, their lawyers said Tuesday.The seven British and South African plaintiffs in the case — three survivors and four relatives of victims — accuse TotalEnergies, which was still known as Total in 2021, of failing to properly assess the threat to people working on the massive gas project, their lawyer Henri Thulliez told AFP.
