zimbabwe situation link below re telecom problems https://www.zimbabwesituation.com/news/zimbabwe-telecoms-jammed-after-violent-protests-report/ <https://www.zimbabwesituation.com/news/zimbabwe-telecoms-jammed-after-violent-protests-report/> I was back in Zim myself last month as well to see family children, internet was working well then inc whats up, mobile and adsl. I wonder how they block social media sites/whats up, is it null routing on peering cores or filtering since did not see filtering in place from ZIM<>UK last month... Colin
