| The US Embassy in Tanzania has closed for two days due to an internet outage affecting several East African countries. | |
| "Due to degraded network service nationwide, the embassy will remain closed to the public," the embassy said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. | |
| It cancelled all consular appointments for Tuesday and Wednesday and rescheduled them to a later date. | |
| The embassy will, however, remain accessible for visa collections and for handling emergency cases involving American citizens. | |
| The internet outage has persisted since Sunday morning, causing poor connectivity in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. | |
| Metrics shared by internet monitoring group NetBlocks on Monday showed that Tanzania has been worst hit by the outage. | |
| The patchy service is a result of faults in the under-sea cables that connect the region to the rest of the world through South Africa, industry expert Ben Roberts told the BBC. | |
| On Monday, some East Africans were still experiencing slow internet speeds with some telecom providers indicating that the issue was yet to be fully resolved. | |
