Starlink is an internet satellite system that provides broadband access to more than 60 countries around the world. It was launched in 2019 by Space X, an aerospace company founded by Elon Musk in 2002.
Starlink announced on Friday the availability of its services in Benin. This is the seventh African country entered by the American satellite broadband Internet after Nigeria, Rwanda, Mozambique, Kenya, Malawi and
Zambia.
In a post on X, the owner of Elon Musk's Starlink testified about the progress and expansion of his ambitious project on the African continent.
"Starlink now authorized in Benin!" announced Elon Musk on his X account (formerly known as Twitter).
The development comes as many parts of Africa, particularly rural or remote areas, often experience difficulties accessing a stable and fast internet connection.
