Étant donné que la pandémie de coronavirus (COVID-19) a dominé l'actualité et les discussions en 2020, il est facile d'oublier qu'il y a eu plusieurs interruptions de câble au cours du premier trimestre de 2020, et l'effet d'entraînement dévastateur qu'elles ont eu sur la connectivité à travers l'Afrique.</p>
