[afnog] Submarine cable issues - WACS and SAT3

[Willy Manga]

Hi.

Please tell me that not all the submarine cable follow exactly the same 
physical path like  WACS and SAT3 if I can trust this article [1] . They 
are both somewhere in the Congo canyon.

The same cables suffered other issues but this time in Cote d'Ivoire 
(SAT3) and Nigeria (WACS) based on that tweet from CAMTEL [2], the main 
ISP in cameroon.


The breaks  are impacting countries or more specifically networks with 
low interconnections. Once again, it's a hard reminder to expand your 
peering portfolio guys :)
