media sites are still down in sudan because the government didn't perhaps trust what people might be able to do in terms of mobilization. does that say anything about bashir's sense of concern about what is happening on the streets? >> yes, i think it does. the government is saying there are other reasons for the internet being down but i think most accounts are that that was an intention move by the government. it says something about their concerns, it also says something about the level of organization amongst a lot of people who are involved in these protests. particularly among some of the youth groups. there is a vibrant and active social media scene amongst the youth that has been important to some of the resistence to the government that we've seen over the last few years. >> john, thank you very much, indeed. and apologies to referring to you as joe a couple of times. good to have you on the program. >> thank you. >> still head, the death toll
