English-speaking
regions of Cameroon have now been without the internet for more than a week
following recent protests in the country. This shutdown comes after the
government outlawed at least two Anglophone groups - Southern Cameroons
National Council and the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium took to
the streets to protest over the marginalization by the French-speaking led
government.
Wednesday,
January 25, 2017, marks the eighth day since the authorities ordered the
country’s telecommunications providers to shut off internet connections to the
regions of Northwest and Southwest.
However,
Cameroonians have also been receiving texts from authorities warning them not
to post 'information they can’t prove' on social media.
