[en] This new report by Friends of the Earth France, Mozambique and International denounces French interests in the gas mega-projects being developed off the coast of Mozambique. In a region plagued by escalating conflict, gas exploitation is already turning into a nightmare for the peoples of Cabo Delgado. Between corruption, militarization, worsening climate change impacts and human rights abuses, the report exposes France's role in a case that began in 2013 with a corruption scandal over a naval contract, and will continue with the signing of the largest investment ever made in sub-Saharan Africa in June 2020. The report details how the French public authorities have spent years working to ensure that the gas and arms industries and their bankers profit from Mozambique's $60 billion gas windfall, further driving the country into dependence on fossil fuels. It exposes a true state scandal, involving economic diplomacy, public funding, arms sales, military cooperation and corruption. All this in a region plagued by a conflict that is escalating and has already claimed at least 1,100 lives since October 2017. Friends of the Earth France, Mozambique and International call on the French government to put a stop to the diplomacy of chaos, at the service of the fossil fuel and arms industries, starting by ceasing all public aid for exports. In view of the seriousness of the human rights violations and the environmental and climate risks, they call on the French companies involved - private banks such as Credit Agricole and Societe Generale, energy industrialists such as Total - to withdraw from the gas projects off the coast of Mozambique and stop developing any new projects
