Senegal’s internet service has been restored after two days of curfew-style restrictions by the government following the postponement of this month’s presidential election, internet monitor Netblocks said via email on Wednesday.
“It remains unclear as to whether the restoration will be sustained,” it said.
Authorities had temporarily suspended mobile internet from Sunday night after President Macky Sall’s postponement of the Feb. 25 vote triggered unrest in the capital Dakar.
Lawmakers on Monday voted to hold the election on Dec. 15, sealing an extension of Sall’s mandate that has provoked international alarm and a backlash from the opposition.
