Post-media blackout update Jan 1 4:30 pm

Not much to report at this point. Here’s the latest I have:

Site was back down again last night. Working on setting up a mirror site to handle traffic. Also had to try and make something out of New year’s eve.

Off […]

Drove to a friend’s house less than ten minutes away and had to go through a police checkpoint. Very scary.

I have no news to […]

Update 30 Dec 9:30 pm – post media blackout

Some people have problems understanding English so I will try one more time. Yes I am biased. Biased against a flawed process and whoever is behind it. I am not going to be neutral on this particular point so get over it!

With live media shut down [update – ban just extended to phone […]

Media blackout announced

All live broadcasts have been suspended by the government. The order was released as ODM was addressing their press conference.

This is now officially a police state.

So we have no idea what ODM is saying, and what the security situation is around the country.

If I was ODM, I’d jump on Youtube […]
