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.

Loss Type2

After an ineffective bombing, the service was suspended for all of Yemen. Although the problem could have been fixed within hours, the Sana'a authorities deliberately delayed the reform for four days. Perhaps the reason is linking the Internet to conflict and political problems.
