The
Saudi Telecom Company has confirmed that the undersea Internet cable linking Egypt to Italy [red line as shown on map] had been severed which has caused a lot of disruption for Internet services in the
the Arab Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman) and the African countries such as Hindi, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh with minor disruptions in South-East Asia. While the link break happened last Wednesday, maintenance and repairs won't be until the 24th of April and is expected to take 3 days.
