Tue 18 June 2019:
Most of Ethiopia was without internet access on Tuesday on the eighth consecutive day of an unexplained break. An AFP investigation found that with the exception of the capital Addis Ababa, most of the country’s cities had no internet. Cherer Aklilu, executive director of the state monopoly Ethio Telecom, declined to give any details to explain the break. “We expect to release an official statement on the internet blackout before the end of this week and we urge our users to be patient until that time,” he told AFP.
