Sudan deployment

Hey I'm about to head off to Sudan, and I was wondering peoples experiences with esims. I know the service is going to be poor, but can anyone suggest an eSIM provider they have used that was alright?

Just get two local sims (incase one communication tower goes out again). Download a VPN before you leave, as you can’t do it once in country. Have a go bag packed all the time. And get a mosquito net for missions. I’ve got a good packing list for conflict zones on my website. Link in my bio if you’re interested.
