Humanitarian organisations are urging Starlink's chief Elon Musk not to shut down the satellite internet service, as doing so could ''collectively punish'' millions of Sudanese.
SpaceX, the operator of the Starlink internet service, had notified subscribers in war-torn Sudan that it would cease operating in the country effective April 30. Notably, Sudanese residents, cut off from mobile networks for weeks due to war between rival military factions had been using Starlink satellite connections to access the internet.
The company stated, ''According to the terms of use, the service is only allowed to be used in countries authorized to operate the service."
Nearly hundreds of humanitarian organisations are now urging Starlink's chief Elon Musk to restore the satellite internet service, as not doing so could ''collectively punish'' millions of Sudanese.
