Burkina Faso lifts suspension of mobile internet a day after violent protest

The Burkina Faso government lifted the suspension of the mobile internet on Sunday evening, a day after the violent protest in the South African country.

The Burkina Faso government said it was lifting a suspension on the mobile internet from Sunday evening, a week after imposing the ban for what it said was security and defence reasons.

The suspension came amid widespread anger and violent protests in Burkina Faso over what demonstrators said was the government's inability to stop deadly attacks by Islamist militants.
