Sudan is experiencing almost complete isolation from the outside world due to the cutting off of communications and Internet services. Communications and Internet networks have partially stopped since last Friday afternoon in most states of Sudan, then returned in a fluctuating manner before being completely cut off by Tuesday.
Former Minister of Communications, Hashim Hasab al-Rasul, held the Rapid Support Forces responsible for the comprehensive closure of telecommunications services in the country. He warned of the "catastrophic" effects of stopping this service on the lives of Sudanese.
