Dear All,
I apologize for cross posting.
We are experiencing internet shut down in Togo since this Morning. Social Media was fluctuating since yesterday morning according to many users. But the black out has been total ince 9AM. 3G internet is completely Down on the 2 GSM operators networks. Broad band internet (ADSL) was working one ISP's network but the bigger ISP's network is still down. Until nos, the black Out is ongoing.
We are actively working on a communique with the help of ISoc Afric Bureau.
Kindly join us spread the information to put pressure on Togo authorities in order to restore the Internet. thanks,
