“Alex Perry’s investigation into TotalEnergies being named as being complicit in war crimes that occurred in Mozambique is a work of exceptional courage and consequence." V grateful to @TheOrwellPrize, whose recognition is a vital counter to those who would bury this story.

"It's the second biggest terrorist attack of all time, beaten only by 9/11, and no one knows about it." Alex Perry, journalist and author of 'Blood Will Flow', tells @DominicWaghorn about his investigation into a French energy company over its connection to alleged war crimes allegations in northern Mozambique - which it denies. 🌍 trib.al/zff6Z7W

When Patrick Pouyanné decided to spend billions on a giant natural gas field in a faraway warzone, he made the call alone, over a single dinner. Six years later, that decision would lead the TotalEnergies CEO to be named in a war crimes complaint.  🔗 politi.co/49sOEix
