C'mon! Don't be such a drama queen! OTH clearly stated that he is joking. I've spoken to KCC staff and many people have too and it seems that what you did was quite a struggle. And did you mean that your conversation lasted for "half and hour" (1.5h) or half an hour (0.5h) because that would be an achievement to talk to them for 90 minutes :)

In the end, if you think that the lady was honest and there is going to be a big jump, that is simply great news. If not...tough shit, we have no influence on cut-offs anyway. I bet we will have the numbers Friday afternoon, if not Monday the latest.

I have a feeling it will be Friday. Just a man's intuition and a dog's nose.

I thought maybe some perspective...
30000 for Africa is low compared to the past 3 years, only slightly low vs 2010, and higher than the three years before that.
The 5000 jump from March to April is lower than last year but higher than all the years before that (back to DV07).
In these 7 years I have the data for, only one - DV08 - was not current by FY end. FYI in DV08 CNs had reached 21500 by April. (That said there were obviously a few years earlier than that where AF was cut off at FY end, I just don't have all the data downloaded)

Anyway.... I just wanted to give some perspective before people get too depressed.
 
I just called - Ethiopia no longer has a separate cutoff, so it's at 30,000 like the rest of the continent. Nigeria and Egypt still have separate cutoffs but the lady declined to tell me the numbers unless I provide CNs.
