The United Nations and foreign governments have called on Sudan’s military to restore internet services immediately. The army leadership has made no comment on the shutdown. But having learnt lessons from past disruptions, Sudanese citizens are fighting back so as to stay connected. These include using roaming services on international SIM cards sent from overseas, as well as deploying motorbike messengers to relay information from one area to another. This is not the first time Sudan has imposed internet restrictions - including shutdowns and social media limitations - in the face of political turmoil. During protests in 2018/2019, access to major social media platforms was cut for 68 days.Ī more extensive mobile internet shutdown left Sudan offline for 36 days from June 2019 after security forces carried out a raid on pro-democracy protesters, killing more than 100 people. Human rights groups fear the renewed shutdown is a warning that violence against demonstrators might soon follow. Thousands have taken to the streets to oppose the takeover led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, resulting in confrontations between soldiers and anti-coup protesters. At least 11 people have died, according to a committee of doctors that tracks the violence. “Without the internet, however, the world doesn’t know the full extent of what’s happening in Sudan, so we can’t say to what level lives are being crushed - what are the human rights violations, how many protesters have been killed?” “People across Sudan have not been able to access the most basic of online services-such as sending or receiving money, or communicating with family and loved ones-and are quite possibly missing out on life-saving information,” said Felicia Anthonio, campaigner and #KeepItOn lead at Access Now.
