Moroccans were able to access the video-sharing site YouTube on Wednesday for the first time since access was blocked last week. The site's disappearance provoked a storm of debate on Morocco's blogs, with Internet users voicing fears that it signaled a further rollback of media freedoms that the country began regaining after the accession of King Mohamed VI in 1999. Morocco's communications minister would not comment on YouTube's absence. Najib Omrani, a spokesman for the state-controlled telecommunications company Maroc Telecom, said Moroccans were unable to access YouTube due to a technical glitch, but could not explain its nature or why it affected only Google Inc.'s YouTube. Many Moroccans said government censors had been spooked by a spate of videos recently posted on YouTube purportedly showing Moroccan police beating and arresting activists from Western Sahara, a desert territory Morocco has occupied since 1975. |
