Internet Shutdowns in Yemen

We define an Internet shutdown as "Disablement of access to the Internet as a whole within a particular locality or localities for any duration of time".

We put it simply, our data is as reliable as the sources it comes from. We consider newspaper reports of Internet shutdowns to be more or less accurate by default, and therefore do not verify every report separately unless we have a reason to do so. On the rare occasions when news reports present conflicting information on certain shutdowns for instance, we try our best to independently verify this information from primary sources such as residents from the affected areas. We also verify all information on Internet shutdowns that reaches us by word-of-mouth by soliciting corroborating reports from our sources. Only verified instances are added to our database in such cases.

Report a shutdown الإبلاغ عن مشكلة إنقطاع

At the moment, We currently rely entirely on secondary sources for information. We are working on technical methods to be notified of Internet shutdowns in real-time, but these are still in early stages of development and do not supply any information to our tracker as of yet. We urge the public to report any shutdowns that they experience through our website.
