Sudan was cut off from the Internet for 25 days
On November 18, 2021, internet traffic started to resume in Sudan after a nearly complete shutdown lasting 25 days due to political turmoil. The biggest internet access disruption in the country's recent history occurred in 2019 for 36 days. Internet service was mostly restored by two ISPs, Mobitel and MTN, with mobile traffic seeing a significant increase. Sudan has experienced frequent internet shutdowns and social media restrictions, often during times of political unrest.
