“We are confident that we will resume discussions [with the Tunisian authorities] after the end of Ramadan [the Eid el-Fitr festivities marking the end of Ramadan took place on 26 May in Tunisia], which also coincides with the end of the lockdown in Tunisia,” the Orange Group replied by email on 26 May to questions from Jeune Afrique Business+. These discussions concern the French operator’s desire to become the main shareholder of Orange Tunisia, as envisaged in the shareholders’ agreement signed on 20 May 2009.
