I also remember those especially the 6^th October City ones.

W.r.t. the Cote d’Ivoire outage I’m too low on the food chain to receive any RFOs now but I haven’t heard anyone having sight of one either, never mind a causation analysis that aggregates multiple RFOs across multiple cables.

I’ve seen pics of the cable damage off Mtunzini which points to a probable case of a fishing trawler causing the outage by steaming over both cables while bottom trawling.   In Oz, they track these ships and prosecute them, but I don’t know if there are similar operations like that on this side of the pond.
