Missions

After the devastating passage of cyclone Chido, TSF is deploying to Mayotte to provide emergency communications to the affected populations and to coordinate relief operations.

TSF deployed in Mali on 1st February 2013 to set up satellite connections in Timbuktu after the liberation of the city by the French and Malian armies.

TSF deployed a team of emergency telecommunications specialists in the Darfur region of Sudan to conduct an assessment mission for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The mission was to assess the telecommunications infrastructure in Nyala, El Genina and El Fasher to determine the needs of the United Nations and NGOs in these cities located to the west of the country near the Chadian border. This conflict-ridden region, which, according to international experts, had since 2003 killed more than 200,000 people and forced more than two million to flee fighting and take refuge in makeshift camps on both sides of the border in Chad and Sudan.
