I think the problem is due to the AfriCover guys using a borked
version of bulk_upload06.py
It re-uploaded all existing data as new. It also seems the new data
was uploaded multiple times.

The duplicates are disappearing extremely quickly... I've been
cleaning parts of DRC. Others are working on Kenya.

I've also been working on improving the routing North / South. Cape
Town to Cairo is now routable. (Crosses Nile twice by ferry;
Dongola-Sudan West -> East and Wadi Halfa-Sudan -> Aswan-Egypt).
