A major internet disruption was on Sunday experienced across East and South Africa following a submarine cable cut. According to reports, all sub-sea capacity between the two regions was severely affecting several internet service providers across the region. The latest cable problems appear to severe impact on internet users in Kenya and Tanzania, with social media reports suggesting a near-total internet blackout in some areas. In Kenya, the outages affected users of major networks and internet service providers, including Safaricom and Telkom Kenya, according to social media posts. In March, countries across Africa suffered a major internet outage after multiple undersea telecommunication cables reported failures according to network operators and internet watch groups.
