Farida Tiemtoré, a blogger: “Since yesterday, I have been at home.I did not go out because I work with the internet.We had planned a debate workshop yesterday but we could not hold it because the mobilization was difficult without the internet.Even today, I'm at home.Our cry of heart is that we are given at least an explanation.Currently, there are speculation from left to right.Everything I want to know: why was the mobile internet cut and what will be the outcome of all this. "

Belemodel success, manager: "I suspended my activities online.I organized training on two -hour virtual currencies.Not everyone is connected because not everyone has wifi at home so I have to postpone the training. "
