The services of telecommunications companies have stopped in most regions of Sudan and the interruption of communication services has raised great concerns, as the majority of the population relies on banking applications to conduct their daily lives in light of the lack of liquidity and the closure of most banks and ATMs, especially in Khartoum and the cities and regions of central Sudan.
Since the outbreak of war between the army and the RSF in mid-April, many installations, bridges and other infrastructure and public buildings have been massively destroyed as a result of aerial and ground bombardments by the conflicting sides.
Sources said that the Rapid Support Forces disrupted the main exchanges of the networks “Sudani” and “MTN” in Khartoum, which led to a widespread outage of communications and Internet in large parts of Sudan, while the Rapid Support denied taking any similar measures and accused the army of cutting service.
A senior RSF official denied their forces in Khartoum had links to Sudan’s communications outages. Most residential neighborhoods, markets, industrial and economic facilities were also damaged, and electricity and water networks in more than 60 percent of the capital’s areas were affected by the destruction.
