ســودانت لم يتم قفل الموقـع فيهـا أصلا.

وهـذا التقـريـر من أحـد الأصـدقاء من الســودان.. نشــر فى مـوقـع أخـر:

I visited the SudaneseOnline.com Web site earlier today, and there were a lot
of postings complaining and protesting that the Sudanese authorities had
blocked the site and it was inaccessible from Sudan. I could not understand it
because I was able to easily access the site from Khartoum! Actually, I did not
know the site was blocked until after I read the protesting messages, i.e.
after I accessed the Web site!! So I tried to find out what was going on.

There are 5 wire-line ISPs in Sudan, and I tried to access Sudaneseonline.com
through each and every one. Here are the results:

1. Sudanet (dialup #: 122; username: sudanet; password: sudanet): The Web
site was NOT blocked.

2. Zinanet (dialup #: 124; username: zinanet; password: zinanet): The Web
site was blocked by the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC).

3. Fastnet (dialup #: 125; username: fastnet; password: fastnet): The Web
site was blocked by the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC).

4. Freenet (dialup #: 127; username: freenet; password: freenet): The Web
site was NOT blocked.

5. Skynet (dialup #: 1280; username: skynet; password: skynet): The ISP was
not working; its line was "temporarily disconnected."

It happened that I accessed the site initially through Sudanet (No. 1 abobe),
and this is why I did not notice there was a blocking imposed.

Here is also some quick background info that might be helpful. Internet
access is free in Sudan. Everyone accesses the Internet through any of the above
ISPs using the same (universal) username and password. All ISP traffic is
controlled by Sudatel, which has a monopoly over international outgoing traffic.
This is why Internet users pay connection fees directly to Sudatel. Sudatel and
ISPs have internal arrangements and agreements between them.

Sudatel and the telecom sector in Sudan are all regulated by the NTC, a
governmental department. The NTC is headed by at-Tayyib Mustafa. Mr. Mustafa
introduced some months ago the policy of Internet censorship, which blocked certain
Web sites from being viewed by customers of the above Sudanese ISPs. He said
he wanted to block Web sites that are "against our values and our religion." He
is the author of the policy and the sole authority on interpreting the
policy. Thus, I would say the party responsible for blocking SudaneseOnline.com
through Zinanet and Fastnet is none other than Mr. Mustafa. And, by the way, Mr.
Mustafa admitted in the past in one of his newspaper articles that he used to
follow what was written on the Free Forum of SudaneseOnline.com. I expect it is
a matter of a short time (software and technical issues) before the rest of
the ISPs too block the site.

Mr. Mustafa is one of the Inqaz totalitarian extremists and a religious
fanatic. He is also a leading advocate of Sudanese North-South separation.
