Internet Users

World Bank Internet Usage Data is Wack: Higher % in Sudan than Kenya? DRC than Ghana? Please!

I'm looking at this World Bank visualization of Internet users in Africa and I'm thinking there's a major data mistake. Just check out what they say is the Internet users as percentage of population for several African countries:

I refuse to believe that there's a higher Internet penetration in Sudan than Kenya, Senegal, Uganda or Nigeria. And that DRC (!) beats Ghana, Rwanda and Cameroon is just not right!

What do you think? Could there be more Internet access in Zimbabwe than the computing powerhouses of East Africa? Or is World Bank off their rocker with these numbers?
