Large drop in traffic from the Democratic Republic of Congo

What's this blog post about?

On January 21, 2018, internet access was significantly reduced in the Democratic Republic of Congo, likely due to anti-Kabila protests. The BBC reported that internet access in the capital, Kinshasa, was cut on Saturday. According to monitoring data, traffic from the country dropped by two-thirds during this time. Internet access appears to have been restored three days later, with traffic returning to normal levels.
