According to this internet is down in Libya since Thursday. So no more updates from Libya.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Can anybody help me get in touch with Officeboy?  Have been trying to connect with the young Ghananian man who worked for us in Tripoli.  We are very worried for his safety.  Wanted to ask for Officeboy's help.

OK so the internet is down which is a shame ..

Currently worried about someone in Benghazi who's phone doesn't seem to be able to send texts ... is the phone system still a problem in the east???

Thanks!

Just a quick update for all re internet connection. Libya appears to still have the connection blocked at the main backbone, so looks like no internet for anyone for the time being. As for journalists - am guessing they'll all have VSat links, which is why they have i/net access. I keep pinging the network and doing traces every day, and will update again as soon as I can see any change.

Hi,
how about the phones? I've been trying to call someone from Benghazi for more than a week. Somebody heard from there?
