Mozambique LNG: TotalEnergies Welcomes the Launch of Official Investigations
in Mozambique

 

Following allegations of human rights abuses raised by media outlets in 2024
that would have been committed by members of Mozambique’s Defence and
Security Forces in the Afungi Peninsula in the Cabo Delgado province around
the summer of 2021, Mozambique LNG (TotalEnergies 26.5%) has asked in November
2024 the Mozambican authorities to open a formal investigation into such
allegations, in order to ascertain what happened.

On the occasion of his meetings end of January with the new authorities of
Mozambique, notably the President Daniel Chapo, Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of
TotalEnergies, stressed the importance of such an investigation being
conducted in accordance with the rule of law and sovereignty of the Mozambican
state.

TotalEnergies welcomes the announcement

made on 4 March 2025 by the Attorney General of Mozambique who confirmed that
a criminal investigation had been opened into these allegations. Mozambique
LNG will fully cooperate with the authorities in this respect.

In addition, TotalEnergies has also requested the intervention of the
Mozambican Commission on Human Rights (CNDH) to conduct its own investigation
into these allegations. We are pleased that the CNDH confirmed

on 25 March 2025 that it will carry out its own assessment of all relevant
information to ensure that the facts are duly ascertained and that the rights
of the parties involved are fully respected. In particular, the CNDH has
stated that it will follow the investigation launched by the Mozambican
judicial authorities to ensure that it is conducted in a transparent, fair and
impartial manner.
