Communication networks and the Internet have been completely cut off in Sudan since last Tuesday. A Sudanese communications services official held the Rapid Support Forces responsible for cutting off communications throughout Sudan for the fourth day in a row.

The former Minister of Communications, Hashem Hasab al-Rasoul, confirmed to Al Jazeera Net that what happened was a closure of communications services on instructions from the Rapid support Forces. The Kuwaiti "Zain", the South African "MTN", and the Sudanese "Sudani" companies provide telecommunications services in the country.
