Syriatel is a private mobile provider in Syria, since its founding in 2000. In 1998, the Syrian Ministry of Transportation issued a mock tender to operate the mobile phone sector in which Rami Makhlouf appeared as a partner of the Egyptian multi-millionaire Naguib Sawiris of Orascom. However, Makhlouf soon had a dispute with Sawiris, and the funds of the Egyptian company in Syria were confiscated and placed under the legal guardianship of Ihab Makhlouf, Rami’s brother, and Nader Kalai, Makhlouf’s business manager. However, the threat of resorting to international litigation prompted the announcement of an amicable solution to the dispute in July 2003 such that Syriatel, owned by Makhlouf, became one of two mobile phone operators in Syria. Its general manager is Magda Saqr. Syriatel has been placed on US and EU sanctions lists.
