Zimbabwe has been cut off from the internet since 0700 UTC with #Bulawayo "largely offline" and Harare almost all out. Fingers crossed for the safety of so many. @netblocks #Zimbabwe #ZimbabweShutDown

Some of the last remaining pockets of available internet connection in #Zimbabwe are now offline. A connection allows monitors, activists and digital journalists to keep an eye on what is happening to people on the ground. #KeepItOnZW - h/t @netblocks for this amazing service.
