Internet connectivity – Internet connectivity in Mauritania suffered widespread disruption on Thursday and Friday resulting in total break in links with the rest of the world during the period. Reliable sources told PANA that the disruptions were caused by 'the break of the fibre optics network between Senegal and Mauritania'. Mauritania is presently in a process of connecting fibre optics linking Europe to Africa, thanks to a financial budget from the European Investment Bank.
