Gilles, while the first paragraph from your link says
"the left hand engine (GE90) showed a fault and shutdown automatically."
and the second says
"The airline confirmed an indication of a fault of the left hand engine caused an automatic shutdown of the engine, as had been technically designed."
This was all preliminary info.
In the 10th paragraph after an investigation it was corrected to
"On Feb 8th 2017 The Aviation Herald received information that the angle gearbox, connecting the gear box to the N2 rotor, cracked causing the gear box to disengage, as result the high pressure fuel pumps were no longer operating causing the engine to shut down due to fuel starvation"
So if the latter info is correct, the shutdown was from fuel starvation, not an uncommanded shutdown.
