Kenya’s leading mobile phone operator Safaricom is cautiously optimistic about its operations in Ethiopia following an escalation of conflict that has displaced more than two million people from the war-torn Tigray region.
Safaricom through a consortium — Global Partnership for Ethiopia — was awarded a licence by the Ethiopian government to provide telecom services in the country barely six months ago (May 24) in a ceremony attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta in Addis Ababa.
