Happy new month!
I bet it is quite happy for some or most Fretownians and Sierra Leoneans as a whole with the internet being restored on Saturday afternoon. Thankfully digital democracy was not under attack this past weekend and we genuinely experienced a disruption along other coastal countries due to the fiber optic cut in Dakar.
Aaahhh...we live to see another day online in short.
And, you get to read another #Top7 things!
