07:34 AM EDT, 09/20/2026 (MT Newswires) -- TotalEnergies (TTE.PA, TTE.L) is under fire for allegedly failing to protect a subcontractor at its liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique, London's Financial Times reported Sunday. The backlash is related to a 2021 attack in the area by Islamist insurgents. The French energy company was accused of not providing enough security to its staff for the project, which led to casualties. TotalEnergies did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MTNewswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
