The remaining 3 are DL subsaharan destinations (DKR-ACC-LOS).
I haven't seen any news source reporting that Dakar, Accra or Lagos are included in the restrictions, although it is clear absolutely no one has any idea what is going on including the government and airlines involved.

From what has been reported so far, it is only the first 10 cities, none of which have direct routes that are served by US airlines. That alone raises some red flags with me, as if someone was wanting to help out US/western airlines by restricting the competition.
