  Mobile Internet services were shut down in Burkina Faso on 20 November, 2021 following anti-government protests across the country. In response to the protests, the government announced that mobile networks would be unavailable for 96 hours, cutting off millions of citizens' Internet access.   While fixed-line and wireless services were unaffected, there are less than 0.05 fixed line connections per 100 inhabitants, and the vast majority of Burkina Faso's connected citizens access the Internet via mobile networks. This shutdown lasted over a week, meaning citizens could not access online businesses, banking services, health services, educational institutions, nor contact loves ones.

  Sudan’s military cut fixed and mobile Internet connectivity on 25 October 2021, after it seized power just ahead of the country’s general elections. Sudan was under a transitional authority after the ouster of Omar al-Bashir in 2019, and the military following its takeover declared a state of emergency as protesters took to the streets of the capital, Khartoum, in opposition to the coup. On 9 November, Khartoum’s District Court ordered ISPs to restore Internet access, but services only began to return after 25 days of blackout, on 18 November, prolonged by the insistence of the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Authority for the shutdown to remain in place. Zain and MTN were the first to come back online, followed by Sudatel and later by other providers. Al Jazeera Arabic reported that the Internet blackout caused economic losses amounting to tens of millions of dollars per day, with telecommunications companies alone losing USD 6 million daily. Citizens resorted to roaming services on international SIM cards sent from overseas to get in touch with their loved ones.
