It’s about the problems of establishing connectivity in <st1:country-region

and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region></st1:place>
at some research institutes and university faculties. The second,
“After the Fact,” is the follow-up we promised for <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Tunis</st1:State></st1:place>, screened at the
side event (“Past, Present, and Future of Research in the Information
Society” and the exhibition itself). It deals with problems of
