Internet Cut Off From NW and SW Archives
Since Tuesday January 17, 2017 the people of North West and South West regions have been cut off from the internet world. Internet connection was shut down late Tuesday shortly after the government arrested some leaders of the now outlawed Civil Society Consortium.

Businesses have been grounded in both regions. Several Money transfer agencies are unable to operate, banks are inactive and mobile telephone operators who deal with internet have had their businesses closed.

The people of North West and South West regions are mobilizing to stage a protest in front of offices of CAMTEL, MTN, ORANGE and NEXTTEL come Saturday January 21, 2017. In a social media message which has gone viral activists have been calling on users to call these companies to order.

The shutting down of internet was intended to make communication difficult for locals of these two regions who have been using the internet as fast means of disseminating information to one another.

Denizens see this as a failure by these companies to risk their businesses by forgetting the Customer King philosophy and allegedly working with the government.
