#opSyria Update: Internet Restoration Confirmed

Internet restored in Syria

The internet is back on in Syria!

Restoration of the Internet in Syria at 14:32:10 UTC

It’s time for an update on the struggle in Syria.

It was not immediately clear if the internet was operating countrywide, however after a bit of waiting, it has been revealed the PBX landlines, along with mobile lines, satellite and other communications are back up. What started as a downhill battle quickly turned into a very direct attack on the government of Syria. After three days the lines in Syria have begun to return to normal, but there is some level of network congestion associated with this rise in usage of the internet by so many people at once.

It has also been discovered that TOR, aka the internet activist’s best weapon, is also working in Syrian provinces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition-linked violence-monitoring organization, said “connectivity had returned to most provinces.” However it is unclear whether i2p is up and working, though this will soon be confirmed or denied.

We will provide as much coverage on this as the time goes by, but rest assured, the People of the internet are very glad to have their Syrian friends and fellow activists back online at this time.

The red, white, and black flag of Syria waves stronger now than ever in the winds of freedom. It is a great day for activism and a great day for the world entirely, knowing that Syrian people can now return to the internet as usual.

It is important to notice that the current Operation: Syria, which is currently targeting Syrian government and embassies in the country, is still very much ongoing.
