Norwegian telecoms operator Telenor has sold its Myanmar operations to the Lebanese investment firm M1 Group, which was added to Burma Campaign UK’s Dirty List for doing business with the Myanmar military.
The M1 group has been on Burma Campaign UK’s Dirty List since August 2019 because it is a major shareholder in Irrawaddy Green Towers in Myanmar, which has almost 4,000 telecom towers across the country and is working for the military-owned Mytel telecom operator.
