[Kang]

The East Africa Submarine System (EASSy), a submarine fibre cable system on the East coast of Africa, has encountered problems since yesterday morning.
EASSy’s South African landing partner, Telkom, said in a network notice that a failure between Rosebank and Amsterdam [on EASSy] started at 09:26 on Friday 17 February, causing degraded internet browsing.
Two industry sources says that initial indications are that a suspected undersea cable break between Djibouti and Port Sudan is to blame for the downtime. According to one industry source a repair ship is being prepared to fix the fault, but that the downtime may last for days.
