Description:
There is no room for doubt that the Internet is a basic human right due to its direct impact on the human lifestyle, However, when the internet goes down, it can have a significant impact on people's lives, especially in times of war.
In Sudan, the ongoing war has led to an internet outage that has affected millions of people. The loss of communication has been one of the most significant impacts of this outage. People have lost touch with their loved ones and are unable to communicate with them. This has caused a great deal of anxiety and stress for many families who are already dealing with the trauma of war.
Another impact of the internet outage is the loss of important electronic services. Most of the Sudanese people depending on online services to pay their bills, including electricity bills. Without access to these services, people are forced to find alternative ways to pay their bills, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
The outage has also affected banking services in Sudan. Without access to these services, people are unable to withdraw money or make payments for their needs from food to life saving supplies.
Overall, the internet outage in Sudan during the ongoing war has had a significant impact on people's lives. The loss of communication and important electronic services like bill payment and banking have made life even more challenging for those living in a war-torn country. It is essential that efforts are made to restore internet access as soon as possible so that people can resume their normal lives and stay connected with each other during these difficult times.
• Strengthening the Telecommunications infrastructure, and its sustainability
• Making a change by delivering this suffering to the competent authorities
• Taking advantage of this suffering to avoid it in the rest of the third world countries.
