Can anyone explain to me why the western part of the Horn of Africa and the Atlantic close to it are "blacked out" on most of the satellite images? This is where a lot of the storms form, and it is frustrating not to be able to see this part of the world. I know that it didn't used to be like this. Is this political or technical?
