French energy giant Total cuts cashflow to Myanmar junta

May coverage in The Australian around the announcements of Total a French energy giant withholding tens of millions of dollars in cash dividend payments to the Myanmar junta from a very profitable gas pipeline company part-owned by the military-­controlled Myanma Oil and gas Enterprise (MOGE).

Clancy Moore our National Director quotes “Total and Chevron’s actions are a positive first step in supporting the people of Myanmar and will begin to limit the murderous Myanmar military ­regime’s ­access to vital foreign currency. We urge them to stop the other 90 per cent of payments flowing to the military from the pipeline”
