Sudan government blocks internet

The internet is down. That much is known in Sudan. What is not certain (but highly likely) is that the government is behind the outage.

Internet intelligence corporation Renesys confirmed reports Wednesday that Sudan has been cut off from the Internet. Al Arabiya reported earlier Wednesday morning that Internet access was cut and schools were closed through Sept. 30, as capital city Khartoum erupted in riots over the lifting of government fuel subsidies.
