Synopsis
Sudanese authorities have restored the internet nearly a month since it was suspended after the military deposed the civilian-led transitional government. All telecommunications companies had their internet services restored on Thursday. Internet freedom monitor, Netblocks, has also confirmed the restoration of the internet. Deadly anti-coup protests have been taking place in the capital Khartoum and other parts of Sudan since Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan seized power on 25 October. More than 30 people have reportedly been killed in the demonstrations. Activists and opposition groups have managed to draw attention to the protests on social media despite the restrictions.
