 because you put default bridges that are not working this has resulted in
 tor not working via android in a country where tor is otherwise
 inaccessible

 even if you change default bridges from your side it will only work for
 some time until they get blocked again !!

 this happened several times before in previous versions so this means the
 concerned country is now systematically targeting default bridges and bans
 them by creating blocking rules which is easy to implement country wise
 because default bridges dont change

 the immediate solution is to allow manual input of more than 3 bridges in
 torbrowser just like orbot, otherwise torbrowser will not work in an
 entire country for android users !
