[HOT] User removing highway tags from the Earthquake area (Uganda and Tanzania)

[Marco]

I just came thru this area [1] that I tried to map in the last few days 
and found out that someone has been removing the highway=* tag from a 
large number of ways. I wrote him a private message asking for the 
reason of his edits, but I'd like to share this problem with someone 
with more HOT experience in order to understand what's going on and how 
can we quickly fix this, as road mapping seems to me seriously important 
for the guys on the ground who use OSM to help the locals
