The fearsome YouTube; now blocked by Sudan's NTC.
In a fatal blow to our already lackluster sources of entertainment, the Sudanese government has blocked access to YouTube, the online video sharing Web site.
And just when I found out about the amazing videos of death-defying Wingsuit flights! (Sorry, you will have to find the videos for yourself.)

2HW,
I am in Khartoum and can still access Youtube using my Canar ISP connection. Which one are you using?

Yeah, I’ve read over at Sudanese Thinker (http://sudanesethinker.com/2008/07/26/attention-youtube-blocked-in-sudan/) that Canar seems to be working.
I use Sudani mDSL. Perhaps blocked on state-owned networks. It doesn’t make sense, though, that the GoS would allow Canar to operate without NTC oversight.
