Today, starting at 14:30, citizens in Mozambique faced an unexpected internet outage affecting three major operators, leading to widespread discontent and confusion. Without prior warnings or explanations from the companies involved, many users took to social media to express their frustration, seeking answers for the sudden service interruption. This situation proved particularly challenging for individuals reliant on the internet for their work and communication needs. Reports of difficulties accessing online services and making calls became a common narrative, with users like Lloyd highlighting the distress of being unable to connect. Additionally, there was speculation about possible external interferences or issues within the telecommunications infrastructure, especially in light of recent protests. People began to wonder if the internet outages were linked to these protests, adding further tension to the scenario. One user pointed out that these service interruptions occurred without any formal announcement, contrasting sharply with standard practices for power outages, where the electricity supply company (EDM) typically provides advance notice. While the palpable frustration continues, many are left questioning how the operators, who are meant to provide stable services, could leave the public in the dark. The absence of internet service is not merely an inconvenience; it reflects an already fragile telecommunications infrastructure in Mozambique.
