I'd suspect it's got a lot more to do with the open rioting on the
streets, government shooting people, the numbers involved in protests,
what happened in Tunisia next door etc. etc. Loss of Internet
connectivity is relatively minor in comparison.
Any investor with even half a brain is going to twig that's just not a
good market to have money in right now.
