Africa’s undersea internet cables CUT for third this time this year

Recent damage to undersea internet cables serving African countries has sparked concerns over the continent’s network vulnerabilities, marking the third widespread disruption this year.

Cuts to the EASSy and Seacom cables caused varying levels of internet disruption in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Mozambique, Malawi, and Madagascar.

Efforts to restore connectivity are underway, with operators seeking alternative capacity from other undersea cable partners.
