SUDAN NEWS ALERT: BBC – Sudan crisis: Internet restored – but only for lawyer

24/6/19: BBC – Sudan crisis: Internet restored – but only for lawyer

 Sudanese lawyer Abdel-Adheem Hassan has told the BBC that the internet has been restored after a three-week shutdown - but only for him.

 Hassan on Sunday won a lawsuit against telecoms operator Zain Sudan over the blackout ordered by Sudan's military rulers. He says his victory is only benefitting him as he filed the case in a personal capacity. He said he is going back to court on Tuesday to win the right for more Sudanese people.

 "We have a court session tomorrow and another one the day after tomorrow. Hopefully one million people will gain internet access by the end of the week," Hassan added.
