Internet access in Cameroon is significantly disrupted as protests continue over alleged irregularities in this month's presidential election, Internet monitor NetBlocks said on Thursday.

"We can confirm a significant, ongoing disruption to internet connectivity in Cameroon which may limit coverage of events on the ground," NetBlocks said in an email to Reuters.
