Trying to constructively change the topic to something more interesting lol. I guess the concerning thing to me is that the whole point of packet switched networks was to provide resilience in the face of e.g. civil disorder.

Looing at stat.ripe.net/ZW <http://stat.ripe.net/ZW> now it looks as though one (out of an original 18, current 9) ASN has recovered, but kind of curious as to what exactly happened there. So Bloomberg notes that a number of ISPs were shut down to quell online protest https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/by-killing-the-internet-zimbabwe-kills-commerce-and-the-lights <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/by-killing-the-internet-zimbabwe-kills-commerce-and-the-lights> but are there no work-arounds available, if implemented?
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
