The Rapid Support Forces militia shut down the Internet in Sudan by directly assaulting the main hubs of telecoms companies in Khartoum and ordering engineers to shut off Internet access in various regions of the country at gunpoint. There is no justification for the militia's crimes, and anyone who tries to justify them should keep in mind, if that bothers them, that the communications network is linked to the online banking transfer services on which all Sudanese currently live and receive support from their families, not to mention checking on and communicating with them.
The fascist Rapid Support Forces militia seems to be perpetrating this crime as a prelude to larger crimes that it plans to commit and conceal behind the veil of a media blackout that uncovered the atrocities it committed in El Geneina and the rest of West and South Darfur.
