<p>HI All,</p>
<p>Just passing on a note from Mafor Edwan
of ISOC Cameroon about the Cameroonian Government shut down of the
Internet in his country. <br>
</p>
<p> I am at a loss for words of yet another country that has cut off
Internet Access for its citizens. Thanks to ISOC Cameroon for all
their efforts to resolve this crisis, even though they have not
been successful, I am glad that they have tried. I am a passionate
believer in an open Internet. One that is available to all. By
connecting the world, working with others, and advocating for
equal access to the Internet, We can make the world a better
place.</p>
Edwan hopes people can share this word about this and hopefully some
one can reach the President and tell him what a bad idea this is. I
told him I would share it around. Hope others can do the same<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Judith <br>

off the ability to send financial support to our families
through western union and has now cut off the internet.</div>
