UPDATE (2013-09-27 11:28 UTC):
I heard from what I consider a reliable source that the ISPs in Sudan
were ordered to "shutdown the Internet".
The data we collected supports that: During the disruption described
above a large number of networks were not globally visible anymore while
a much smaller footprint of address space remained. Most Autonomous
Systems (ASes) did not disappear completely from the global routing
tables we collect, so possibly these ISPs mostly kept their
international connectivity and core infrastructure running, while not
providing Internet services to their end-users. Our RIPE Atlas
measurements also support this, because the vantage point we have in
SudREN that retained Internet connectivity seems to be close to their
core infrastructure. With the data collected it's not possible to see if
the users connected via SudREN had Internet access or not.
