Threat of internet outages in Lebanon continue amid Ogero strike

Network failures across Lebanon still loom as employees of state-owned internet provider Ogero continue their strike after negotiations hit a dead-end.

The strike started on Tuesday, with Ogero employees demanding for higher salaries amid an economic meltdown.

A three-and-a-half-hour long meeting was conducted between the disgruntled workers and Lebanon’s communications minister Johnny Corm, but no resolution was met.

Business across Lebanon have reported internet and power outages on Friday, according to local reports. Network services were only intermittently available in Tripoli, with electricity generators operating for about 12 hours a day.
