10/6/19: AFP – Internet blackout hits Sudan capital

 AFP reports that landline internet connections were down across Khartoum on Monday, creating a digital blackout in the Sudanese capital a week after mobile online services were largely cut following a deadly crackdown on protesters.

 Internet lines from the country's main provider Sudatel stopped working in the early afternoon, an AFP correspondent said, adding the outage had affected embassies, luxury hotels and offices.

 The landline outage was also affecting cities and towns outside the capital, an AFP correspondent said.
