Google Chrome denied

So the U.S. trade sanctions against Sudan are at last beginning to bite. Here is the screen I got when I tried to download Google's new Chrome internet browser from Khartoum.

Something similar happened with Google Earth - at the time Google said it blocked downloads in Sudan saying it couldn't distribute its software in the blacklisted country.

First Google Earth. Now Google Chrome. Sudan's geeks are going to be enraged. Could this be the move that finally brings the Khartoum regime to its knees?
