'Once the internet is back on the world is going to be shocked'

“Once the internet is back on the world is going to be shocked by what’s been happening," Sudanese civic activist Mai told MEE from Khartoum.

"We don’t even know half of what’s been happening around the city. There’s been deaths, and there’s been shooting straight at young men and women in neighbourhoods. But we can’t verify because we don’t have internet access, access to sources who can confirm or deny this."

"And the fear is that today will be worse, especially if the world is not watching.”
