After the shutdown, the blog...

Posted by Phil on Wednesday, 10 August 2016

We're back! After a very successful few weeks in the UK we are back in Addis and it is crazier than ever. There have been anti-government riots and over the weekend the Internet was shut down so we couldn't post as you will see if you read "Summer Solutions". It's all working again but there may be further problems on subsequent weekends. Anyway, here's a post from both of us. and a few pictures and one noisy cat.

Meet the noisiest cat around campus. Its owners are still away at the moment which has made it even more vocal.

Who turned off the Internet??None of my three ways of using the Internet will work right now, and I have no idea when I will be able to post this on our website. This is unusual. It’s not just a lack of electricity bringing down the Bingham network – if that were the case my 3G USB stick would work. Our 3G mobile phones can do calls and texts, but that’s all. This has not happened before in our nearly three years in Addis, but then the threat of anti-government protests that could turn violent has never been so great as it is this weekend.
