While I work on my Latventure part 2... It seems they "disappeared" completely, although the situation wasn't permanent. |

Are they human? adult? males? females? mixed? Is their number relevant? Is crime involved? Is someone responsible for their disappearance? |

FA, I had nothing to do with it And they turned up again? ***BLOOPER*** I was led to believe they've turned up again...they may not have, although not all of them have "disappeared", as I thought...between 88 and 93 percent have, but not all. |

The thing they have in common - is it a physical characteristic? Something to do with their location? Or beliefs/values? |

Did they lose their memories? Go insane? No both times. Maybe it'd be more accurate to say to people *elsewhere*, these people in Africa (who you have yet to pin down) have "disappeared". (The people elsewhere know they haven't literally disappeared, btw...) |

Did those people disappeared "on paper", means formally, vanished from registers, evidencies? Well, they "vanished" in a way...but if I understand you right, it wasn't that. RECAP: A few days ago, owing to the protests in Egypt, a mass "disappearance" of Egyptians took place, at least in the perception of non-Egyptians. How did they "disappear"? |

Was there any communication disturbances due to the protests? And those people disappeared from comunication facilities like mobile networks, Internet? Another thought: people quitting their workplaces in order to join the manifestations relevant? |

Another thought: people quitting their workplaces in order to join the manifestations relevant? Probably not. Relevant that the 4 out of 5 (if I remember correctly) ISPs were forced to shut down? YES!!!!! And Rbruma and Redwine nail it for the solve! ***SPOILER*** On January 28, 2011, all five major Internet service providers shut down one after the other. All but 7% to 12% of Egyptian networks were therefore unavailable. The rest of Egypt had "disappeared" from the internet, closing off the country from the rest of the world's web-based "radar". Only NOOR DSL is still active. |
