The shutdown came amid anti-French demonstrations and growing political unrest in the country over insecurity. The government explained the initial suspension by citing national security and defence reasons and a Spokesperson said, concerns still existed.
Earlier in the week, the government had offered a different explanation saying the nation wanted silence while burying its soldiers. Dozens of soldiers were killed last week in a suspected militant jihadist attack in the north.
