MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia has restored its internet connection after repairing a severed undersea cable, a telecoms official said on Monday, after an outage that the government said had cost the economy millions of dollars a day.

However, a police officer said attacks by Islamist militants had dropped during the outage that lasted more than three weeks.

"The internet is now back and clients are using it," said Adnan Ali, the media director for Hormuud Telecom, the country's top operator.  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-somalia-internet-restored-idUSKBN1A21P6
