L’OPINION
Founded in 2013, l’Opinion is a French news outlet covering politics, economics and international affairs. Its mission: to help readers see clearly and decide freely in a complex world.

influence decisions.

At Ambition Africa, l’Opinion shares this commitment to journalism that looks ahead, helping participants understand the issues shaping business and international cooperation.

Agro-beverages: Production of natural mineral water under the brand name “O’Klaire.”
Sales and distribution: A fleet of trucks—including refrigerated vehicles—used to transport products to the domestic market and to several countries in the sub-region (such as The Gambia and Guinea).
