Thanks Oumama, for being the first to alert me to the fact that YouTube has returned to Maroc Telecom customers.

What is truly amazing is how bloggers managed to mobilize so quickly. This afternoon, I found that several international news sources had picked up the story, no doubt because of the fact that bloggers in three (or more) languages managed to pool their resources, e-mail each other, start up petitions, make incessant posts (which we then managed to get put up on Global Voices), starting an incredibly effective chain reaction.

International news sources which covered the story:

Reporters Without Borders
MidEast Youth
Associated Press Article (via San Jose Mercury - surprising how many local papers in the States picked this up!)

Special thanks to Youssef who quickly got this story noticed.
