Tarig, Just going out on a limb here, but who says the sites in the US are blocking instead of the country itself? Maybe the Sudan government is blocking access to the sites for whatever reason.

Hi Tarig This is a bit like asking who controls friendship. Of course nobody does. However if certain friends of yours are going to impose conditions on you, you have to go along with it or find new friends. One way round it is to use other friends as interlocutors, simply by using proxy services, or, in more intense situations, something like Kaleidoscope http://www.isoc-ny.org/?p=1485 j On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 1:24 PM, Tarig Yassin <tariq198487 () hotmail com>wrote:
Deal all I want to show you some obstacles that some countries face them every day. For example when users from Sudan trying to access some web site they will get a *Forbidden Access Error* message. And some messages say: you are forbidden to access this web site because your IP address appears form country black listed due to USA government policy. I would like to issue a question here, who controls this Internet? ThanksTarig _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
