News Summary:
Paratus Group appointed Innocent Mutimura as Country Manager for its newly opened Rwandan operations on February 20, 2026, bringing his two decades of experience from senior leadership roles across East Africa's telecommunications sector. Previously, on February 9, 2026, the pan-African telecommunications and network services provider activated a new 2000 km fiber route in East Africa. This protected terrestrial network directly connects Mombasa, Kenya, to Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), passing through Uganda and Rwanda, to enhance cross-border connectivity for enterprises and carriers. This development followed a December 9, 2025, announcement highlighting Martin Cox's instrumental leadership in the Group's African expansion, particularly the successful rollout of Paratus 500. The Group launched "Paratus 500" on November 10, 2025, marking its expansion earlier that year into seven additional African markets—Eswatini, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe—to reach 500 million people in sub-equatorial Africa. On November 5, 2025, Paratus Uganda launched operations in Kampala as a joint venture with Roke Telkom Ltd, consolidating their offerings for enterprise customers in Uganda and the region.
