How and how much does Huawei phone in Africa
All of Huawei's interests in Sudan and the rest of Africa. The point of Giuseppe Gagliano
The Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is nursing a keen interest in the Sudanese market, and according to reports from Africa Intelligence initiated discussions with several operators, including Sudatel, to ensure the implementation of its antennas and mobile networks.
THE ROLE OF SUDAN
Since the fall of Omar al-Bashir's regime in 2019 and Sudan's gradual reintegration into the concert of nations, the country has been the object of much envy. And the telecommunications market, considered almost virgin, is no exception.
THE QUESTION OF DEBT
Since Sudan has limited financing capacity due to the exorbitant external debt, the attitude of the Chinese multinational is one of caution and prudence. But the conquest of a new market would allow us to get back on top: after the anathema decreed by the former US president Donald Trump against the group, the Chinese giant has recorded a decrease of more than 12% of its turnover in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
WHAT HUAWEI DOES IN AFRICA
Banned by Western powers on charges of spying in favor of Beijing, Huawei remains the leading provider of telecommunications infrastructure on the African continent, with nearly 70% of the market share. In East Africa, the Shenzhen-based company is particularly well established in Ethiopia where it is responsible, with ZTE, for the implementation of the 4G network on behalf of the state operator EthioTel.
