🔺🔻Interesting information from the Bab al-Mandab: 20% of the world's internet is under Yemeni threat This newspaper has written: 🔹More than 15 fiber optic cables carry about 17% of the world's internet traffic and a large part of the communication between Europe and Asia and the world, as well as nearly 90% of the data exchange between Europe and Asia. For this reason, if these cables were to be damaged one day, the shock would not only shake the energy market; it would also affect banks, stock exchanges, technology companies, social networks, and the everyday lives of millions of people. 🔹These internet cables connect digital communications between more than 40 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. For this reason, any widespread damage to these cables could, in addition to reducing data transfer capacity and increasing delays in communications, affect cloud services, data centers, financial transactions, capital markets, and the activities of technology companies in a large part of the world.
