Perhaps the move is indeed one to keep everyone's focus on more mundane issues than bigger concerns in light of the Arab Spring...<br /><br />In any case, I really, really hope that Skype / Whatsapp aren't affected! I'm moving back to Canada in a month and my husband's staying in Jeddah. How will we--and so many other expats, not to mention Saudis--stay in touch if these services are banned?<br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891265238640250010noreply@blogger.com
