The internet in Sudan suffered a "near-total collapse" on Sunday, as clashes between General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan's Sudanese Armed Forces and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) entered their second week.

"Real-time network data show a near-total collapse of internet connectivity in #Sudan with national connectivity now at 2% of ordinary levels," said NetBlocks on Twitter, a UK-based watchdog organization that monitors internet access around the world.
