There seems to have been a problem with telecommunications at Sudan, shortly before the mobilizations against the military coup began, following a call from the political parties and the unions.

According to the APE-MPE, the Al-Hadath television network, which belongs to Saudi interests and is based in Dubai, broadcast the information that the telecommunications were cut off.

So far, there is no official confirmation or refutation of the new telecommunications blackout.
