Lucie Morillon said: "The general trend of the report also applies to the Middle East and North Africa region," "We've seen more arrests and harassment of netizens and bloggers who are trying to express themselves freely on the Internet such as the case in Egypt where we have one blogger in jail, but every day since January 2009 we've seen persecution or harassment of bloggers in the country"

Lucie Morillon said (about Bin Ali) : "In Syria there are 4 bloggers in jail for expressing themselves on the Internet and Tunisia also has a history of arresting people for expressing themselves freely online," "We've seen an increase in repression since President Bin Ali was reelected at the end of last year"

Lucie Morillon said: "Internet is such a large space for freedom and exchange of information that it's impossible to censor everything," "In most of these countries like Tunisia and even in the UAE and Bahrain, which are under surveillance, there's an increase in penetration rates of Internet because there are economic reasons behind it,"

The worst violators of online freedom of expression in the Middle East include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Syria and Tunisia, according to a new report issued by the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders.

Phuthuma Nhleko : “The solid performance of MTN operations in most of the countries in which the Group has a presence was achieved despite economic challenges, increased regulatory changes and growing competition. Continued delivery in accordance with an aggressive network rollout strategy remained key throughout 2009, enabling MTN to maintain or improve its market share in most of its operations. Better distribution and a focus on segmental product offerings were other contributory factors. As a result, subscribers increased by 28,0% to 116,0 million for the period under review, indicating a continuing demand for mobile services in countries where mobile penetration is still relatively low”

MTN Group reports sound operational performance for the year ended 31 December 2009. MTN Group revenues increased by 9,2% and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (“EBITDA”) by 6,7% based on a sound operational performance for the year ended 31 December 2009....
