(MENAFN) The Algerian government announced that it is against South African telephone company MTN Group Ltd.?s plan to buy Djezzy, the Algerian mobile-phone unit of Egypt?s Orascom Telecom Holding SAE, Bloomberg reported.
Algerian Ministry of Telecommunications said yesterday in a statement that any transaction between Orascom Telecom Algerie (OTA) and MTN over the mobile operator Djezzy is void and could lead to the withdrawal of the license.
