Ghana experienced connectivity degradation early Tuesday

Ghana experienced a degradation in internet connectivity early Tuesday, July 29, 2026. The disruption began around 03:20 UTC and lasted approximately 70 minutes, ending by 04:30 UTC. The primary technical impact was observed in network reachability across the country’s IPv4 address space.

Technical Details

The event recorded a severity score of 1,466. The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 network prefixes, showed a 31% drop from its peak, indicating reduced responsiveness from a significant portion of the national IP space. The BGP control plane signal, which reflects routing visibility for Ghana’s prefixes, remained largely stable with only a 2% deviation. Other traffic and connectivity proxy signals, including the gtr-norm and merit-nt measurements, also registered significant declines during the event window.

The cause has not been publicly attributed.

Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
