[governance] African voices on shutdowns in Africa

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Dear all

https://www.apc.org/en/news/internet-shutdowns-africa-it-being-cut-world

This story was pulled together by Leila Nachawati with the input from
alumni of the African School on Internet Governance. The last few weeks
in Africa have seen a spate of internet and mobile network shutdowns..
still ongoing in Zimbabwe, and DRC.

What I like about this story is that it gives one a sense of what it
feels like to be forcibly disconnected.
