[kictanet] TV signals turned off

Tue Jan 30 14:26:58 EAT 2018

The government simply did not want Kenyans to witness the huge crowds that
have turned up. AND they are huge.

The BBC and Aljazeerah are offering periodical updates live as well.
KTN NEWS livestream is also still on, though intermittent.
And at this point, it is out of Both Raila and Kalonzo's hands.

Politics aside, the CA physically disconnected terrestrial links at Limuru
before then systematically switching off most other channels of broadcast,
fibre connections and satellite are intermittent.

*Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up,
it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It
doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up,
you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*
