Set up wifi access points connected to satellite phones. It will be very slow, but you can read / post text and slowly upload pictures. Disable wifi beacon and tell people the SSID. Power off laptop when not in use. Another option would be if someone had a modem. Also slow, but you may be able to bypass the blocks. Use a phone line in a common area or business, NOT a home phone. Share via wifi. Disable wifi beacon and tell people the SSID. Power off laptop when not in use. Save videos, pictures and text in an encrypted 7-zip file on a USB drive and send copies in different directions on trains, cabs, horses, etc. Give filename fake extension. Won't fool everyone, but may fool a soldier. Give a copy to relief workers that find their way in. Be careful with news media, they may be fake. Hand them USB, give password and leave. Find a HAM radio operator and use packet-radio to relay images. Morse code for text. Keep broadcasts short and do not use call-sign. Use different locations each time. Power off smart phones as they can be used as tracking devices. By-passing blocks by other means may prove difficult [1] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Sudan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Sudan

thank you very much for you sincere concern and for this valuable information. current situation in Sudan is total cut off mobile broadband internet but they kept fiber and landline working, maybe to run their own communication .. people are afraid to go back to offices after regime had killed over 100 protesters and spread army on street where they search passing people phones for any type of pictures or videos that document their crimes, if they found any of that you well get beaten and taken away God knows where. the HAM radio idea seems applicable the most in current situation again thank you for your humanity

  Good luck with that situation. I do not envy anyone there. Certainly those involved should encrypt what photos and videos they can. Easiest way is 7-zip, but that is hard to deny knowledge of. VeraCrypt [1] is good for encrypting hard drives and hidden partitions. I was told there are not many HAM operators in Sudan, but if you can find one that could help, they can certainly bypass the internet. Long haul HF data transfer may be the way to go. Keep in mind, you can place USB drives with copies of the videos in hidden places, then tell different members of the media where to find them. Format them as exFat so both windows and mac can read, and avoid NTFS. Wipe fingerprints off the USB drive before placing them in a dry location.
