Zain Sudan, th largest telecommunications operator in the country, has received a court order to immediately restore internet services following weeks of online blackouts.
Lawyer Abdelazim Al-Hassan filed his own case against the telco in the Khartoum District Court and won the case after the court ordered the company, via Sudanese authorities, to immediately restore internet services to the country.
Al-Hassan, who was quoted by AFP News Agency, said: "I filed a case 10 days ago and judge Awatef Abdellatiff ordered the telecommunications department to resume the internet services immediately."
Sudan's military rulers ordered the internet shutdown as a security measure June 3rd following weeks of protests in the country.
Zain Sudan has to date not commented on the development.
