IODA data confirms MTN Cameroon suffered severe, repeated routing failures between 3-5 PM UTC on Oct 12, during the presidential elections. Voters could not reliably share critical election info, severely impacting transparency.

11 days after the Presidential Election, MTN's internet has suffered a sustained, major collapse starting at 4:00AM today.
This is NOT just slow speeds. IODA data shows a BGP Collapse, where 75% of the network's global digital "road signs" have been withdrawn or blocked
