The log-in issue has now cleared for me (W10/Avast/Firefox/Chrome/Edge). I would like to hear (on 'Computer connection issues') of anyone else still having issues.

Will the Ellies be sent singly - or as a 'parade'?

Re: Only in Effrika
Protesters in Kenya none-too-happy at the new eco-taxes.
Parliament at least briefly occupied. Reports of live rounds being fired, seemingly confirmed by this video

Video was taken from just outside Parliament. I've geolocated it to here

Some of the protesters taking the opportunity for a late breakfast in Parliament's cafeteria, forks optional.
Well, Man Utd fans; what else did you expect?

Telegraph reporting 8 dead and 50+ wounded, presumably all protesters.

Orange is down. Went onto their website: 
No apology just:Orange Botswana acknowledges the frustration of customers across the country as regards the quality of network coverage on voice and data from last week, and which persist to date. We continue to work to resolve the current network challenges and this remains our greatest priority. It is a lot to ask, we recognise, but we humbly request that you bear with us as we work to restore your confidence and comfort in our services.

Re: Only in Effrika
OK this drilling rig got stuck in the dried up lagoon about 100m from this location by the safari camp. They dug it out from a point fairly close to the shore. Then they took it further out onto the lagoon where the ground is softer. Of course it sunk again. Then they took the back right wheel off and dug a big hole under where it had been. Put it back on. Now before we left 30 mins ago they have three wheels well and truly sunk in apart from the back right which is left suspended above a huge hole.

They can't even harness up some local hippos to drag it out.

They got it out after dark. Yes indeed no hippos to help, or hinder.
