Even Somalia can't function without Internet

Somalia's government says an ongoing internet outage is costing the country $10m (£7.7m) each day.  The outage affects southern Somalia, and was caused by damage to an undersea fibre-optic cable more than two weeks ago.  Somali Post and Telecommunications Minister Abdi Anshur Hassan has called the incident a "major disaster", costing Somalia "more than $130m".  BBC
