ASNs decimation in ZW this morning
So @meileaben on twitter this morning notes: Many #*Zimbabwe* <https://twitter.com/hashtag/Zimbabwe?src=hash> Internet routes withdrawn around 9:30 UTC amidst civil unrest in the country. near-realtime on #*RIPEstat* <https://twitter.com/hashtag/RIPEstat?src=hash> here: https://stat.ripe.net/ZW <https://t.co/sgJ4O3310z> # *OpenNetworkIntelligence* <https://twitter.com/hashtag/OpenNetworkIntelligence?src=hash> # *ZimbabweShutdown* <https://twitter.com/hashtag/ZimbabweShutdown?src=hash> https://twitter.com/meileaben/status/1085118237157851136 wondering if anyone here has additional info on that. Looing at 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-z... but are there no work-arounds available, if implemented?
