Work in Africa? So Do We. With Psiphon Forge.
Updated: 2026-01-27
Across Africa, digital access is increasingly unpredictable. With 21 shutdowns in 15 countries in 2024 alone, governments are using internet shutdowns and social media blocking to control communication flows during elections, protests, and political unrest. Under these conditions, organizations face fragile and shifting network infrastructures, leaving fewer reliable channels for coordination and information sharing. The Psiphon Forge API is specifically designed to help organizations maintain connectivity even when networks are restricted.
Our track record speaks for itself. In Ethiopia, over 2.2 million people in 2023 used Psiphon to bypass political blackouts and platform restrictions. In Sudan, more than 150,000 people stayed connected amid wartime disruptions. During political unrest in Guinea in 2024, over 120,000 people turned to Psiphon. In Uganda, more than 190,000 people relied on Psiphon to overcome blocking during the 2021 election period.
For transnational operations on the continent, this level of proven resilience matters. By leveraging Psiphon Forge’s battle-tested capabilities, organizations working across borders can maintain continuity across digital communications, services, and data platforms when conventional internet access is challenged or blocked. Psiphon Forge. The power to connect.
