Summary

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.
