Al-Damazin , July 14(Darfur 24)
The Damazin Resistance Committees in the Blue Nile State said that the internet outage and the confiscation of Starlitic satellite internet service devices caused a crisis in money transfers, which negatively affects the provision of aid to the displaced people residents.
Internet services were disrupted in Blue Nile State after the Rapid Support Forces took control of the city of Sinja, the capital of Sennar State, on June 29, amid fears that they were planning to invade Damazin.
The Damazin Resistance Committees said, in a statement obtained by “Darfur 24,” that “communications and Internet networks are still cut off in the Blue Nile region for the fifteenth day in a row.”
She pointed out that the displaced people and citizens in the Blue Nile region are living in a critical humanitarian situation, with the continued increase and rise in the prices of consumer goods and daily life necessities.
It is expected that commodity prices will continue to rise in the Blue Nile after the Rapid Support Forces cut off the routes of goods reaching the region from eastern Sudan via Sinja and Dinder.
