The National Communication Authority (NCA) anticipates that it may take some time to restore the defective underwater cables, bringing back stable connections in the affected countries. The NCA announced this in a press release on Saturday, March 16, 2024. This occurred following a conference with the four subsea cable landing service providers (ACE, MainOne, SAT-3, and WACS).
