Tanzania and Burundi? edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Some sources are mentioning Tanzania and Burundi as affected, but none seem to have any concrete information about how they are affected, and some suggest that the flooding there is no different than the normal regional flooding they experience every year. Most sources don't mention them at all. Most of the focus seems to be on Kenya, Rwanda, and Somalia. Therefore, I'm undecided whether to add these two or not. Adding to the talk page for now, even though to my knowledge I'm really the only one working on this article at all anyway. --Kenmelken (talk) 19:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Update--more info now available on Burundi, including verification of displaced households and a fatality. Going to add. Still nothing really on Tanzania at this point. Also, coverage for Uganda seems scarce as well, even though that one is already in the article. Probably need to either add Tanzania or remove Uganda to be consistent. --Kenmelken (talk) 17:11, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
