In Guinea, access to social networks was restored this Friday after several days of disruption.
Facebook, Messenger, YouTube and TikTok had been blocked since Wednesday, according to blogger associations.
The authorities have not officially explained this interruption, but they had recently warned against the dissemination of content deemed harmful to social cohesion.
This interruption comes in a sensitive political context, just weeks before the legislative and municipal elections scheduled for the end of May.
For digital rights advocates, this restoration is good news, allowing citizens to regain their freedom of expression and information.
But they remain cautious, fearing further restrictions as the election approaches.
Guinea has indeed already been accused of restricting access to social media during election periods.
