The Ministry of the Post, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) announced, today, a general cut-off of the Internet network in the whole national territory on Friday April 14th from 1 am to 6 pm.

This cut in the Internet is due, according to the ministry, to a breakdown in the SEA-ME-WE4 submarine cable, linking Annaba to the French city of Marseille.

The Department of ICTs has also announced that Annaba submarine cable will be repaired.
