Abstract
- Elon Musk's SpaceX is seeking an official distributor to operate its Starlink satellite internet service in Sudan, despite the challenges posed by a 15-month-long civil war in the country. The search for a distributor has been difficult due to violence and uncertainty. Starlink devices have been illegally traded and activated in Sudan, with many being imported through corridors controlled by a paramilitary force. Humanitarian groups have urged Starlink to maintain its service in Sudan to aid relief efforts. Starlink has recently obtained a provisional license to operate in neighboring South Sudan, which has also been affected by conflict. [Extracted from the article]
