JAKARTA - A massive internet disruption hit West and Central Africa on Thursday, March 14 as said by internet observatory Netblocks, citing reports from operators regarding the failure of some submarine cables.

The cause of the cable failure is not clear or uncertain.

Netblocks data monitoring shows that Ivory Coast is experiencing severe disruption, while Liberia, Benin, Ghana, and Burkina Faso are also experiencing a high impact.

internet company Cloudflare said in one of its X accounts that monitors the trend that massive internet disruptions are taking place in Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, and Niger.

"There seems to be a pattern in the time of the disturbance, affecting from north to south of Africa," Cloudflare Radar said.

South Africa's telecommunications operator Vodacom also blamed connectivity problems on underwater cable failures affecting the country's network provider.
