Zimbabwe orders Internet shutdown

I’m only able to send this because I’ve got a VPN but yesterday even VPNS were blocked today if you don’t have a VPN you can’t read news or use WhatsApp or Facebook or any social media they’ve only put the Internet on to avoid human rights issues you have a huge audience gaud, an audience who should care.

Heres a video of what’s going on right now:

TRT World on Twitter

[image description: a tweet by africanbutterzw saying, “The people of #Zimbabwe are still offline. Military and police are shooting unarmed civilians. Calling all people of all nations to assist by retweeting and tagging people that can help Zimbabwe. We need to make noise, we need to be heard. 🇿🇼 #SwitchBackOnZW #ZimbabweShutDown” and the time stamp is “10:30 PM 15 Jan 19” /end ID]

If you see this, please reblog.

This is terrifying and we all need to do what we can to spread the word. If you’re a US native, you know that this won’t make the news cycle for more than a few days, max, so please keep talking about this and help make other pay attention! I know not everyone has the spoons for it, but if you can, do so.

Tagging some folks who I really hope can signal boost:

This sounds awful. 😦
