Comment (by mwolfe):

 On 14 Mar 2018, I found that Tor 8.a could connect in the UAE without a
 bridge. On 15 Mar 2018 sometime between 11 am - 1 pm GST, Tor without a
 bridge could not even load, and only loads with Meek or Snowflake. So
 whatever Tor 8.a did that managed to get around the block without a bridge
 got fixed. But Meek and Snowflake still work.

 Many thanks for keeping Tor going.
