Inquest finds details surrounding contractor death during 2021 attack in Mozambique
What happened
A coroner ruled on the circumstances surrounding the death of Philip Mawer, 58, in Palma, Mozambique. Mawer, a project manager for RA International, was working on the accommodation for what was described as the largest gas operation in Africa, run by TotalEnergies. The inquest found that on March 24, 2021, ISIS-linked terrorists attacked the site, resulting in numerous casualties.

Why it matters
The inquest determined that Mawer had refused a helicopter evacuation offered after the siege began. He chose to take his own vehicle with a convoy, which was reportedly hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
