Top Tweets for #BringBackourinternet

Cameroonians across much of the country are experiencing limited internet access as tensions mount over the delayed proclamation of the October 12 presidential election results. The announcement, initially expected today (Thursday, Oct 23), has been postponed to Monday, Oct 27, fueling uncertainty and frustration. Many citizens report unstable connections even when using VPNs, raising fears of a deliberate restriction to control information amid growing calls for protests. Observers note that this mirrors the 2017 Anglophone internet shutdown, which lasted 94 days and marked the start of the ongoing conflict in the English-speaking regions. It led to the widespread use of the hashtag #BringBackOurInternet. Civil society groups warn that silencing communication in moments of political tension only deepens mistrust and threatens national stability. Cameroon now faces a critical weekend as citizens, opposition parties, and the international community watch closely for transparency, restraint, and a peaceful outcome. https://t.co/399mN0of8j #Cameroon #Elections2025 #InternetShutdown #Democracy #DigitalRights #PaulBiya #IssaTchiromaBakary #AnglophoneCrisis #HumanRights #AfricaNews #MMINews

Even if they don’t shut down internet connection on Election Day, they will likely censure social media and/or reduce the bandwidth so that internet is basically unusable. So right now: install your VPNs. Many free ones on the market. Have enough basic phone/sms credit already available beforehand. Don’t wait to D day to recharge. #Etoudi2025
