East Africa loses broadband as four submarine cables are severed in quick succession

Four submarine cables linking East Africa to the Middle East and Europe have been severed within a two-week period, the Wall Street Journal reports, affecting data transfer rates in as many as nine different countries. According to the WSJ, a ship allegedly dropped anchor in a restricted area off the coast of Kenya on Saturday, cutting The East African Marine Systems (TEAMS) cable – just days after three other submarine cables were severed in the Red Sea between Djibouti and the Middle East.
