Part 2
Contrast with Tai-3 where we were treated to an array of good images, such as this

Why so secretive now? Anyway back to Itumbula W - the key thing is that the four back blobs surrounding the pad area now appear to be much diminished and number just one, perhaps two, with the cement hoppers and tanker possibly still being present. So it would appear that recent activity is that some of the white containers were removed from Itumbula SE around early March, followed by various bits of equipment first half of April, and in the last week equipment appears to have been removed from Itumbula W. So where has it gone, and has it gone permanently or is it just temporary? Only time will tell the latter, and as to the where, well it hasn't gone to Camp Rukwa. Tai-3? Maybe, some earthworks there but I'd still say these look agricultural rather than He1 related, and the pad looks so far as I can tell a bit neglected, but impossible to say until some black/white blobs appear or the area turns green suggesting crops growing. At present it is just a brown cleared area. So at present nothing can be determined, save that we know LB & Co were in Tz around 10-4-2024, and there has been some activity at SE and W since that date with equipment being removed from both pads, but to where is yet to be determined. As of 16-4-24 the Eyasi licences remain approved but not yet issued.
It does look like the rains have finished in our part of Rukwqa this season, the area has been generally clear the last few weeks with much of Tz free from cloud today, although there is presently a storm moving in from the East. It looks like the 2024 ground activities actually commenced a couple of weeks ago. Not that I'm expecting confirmation from He1 just yet. In 2023 it took them some 8 weeks to confirm that ground activity was actually taking place, even though it could be seen on Sentinel.
