Internet outage paralyzes business in Chad, outrage grows

Business owners in Chad are complaining about a severe internet outage that has now lasted for more than two days. Officials in Chad and neighboring Cameroon say the outage was caused by flooding which broke fiber-optic cables and which crews are now attempting to repair. Some Chadians suspect the government ordered an internet shutdown to hinder campaigning for December elections, but the country’s prime minister says that accusation is not true.
