I personally find it absolutely ridiculous to download everything and setup every single app and software in my smart phone or mac before booking my ticket back home .. just for example, last month I though of taking my work with me back home in Sudan and try to finish some tasks .. but the lack of access to useful material blocked me from doing anything .. having communicating with my colleagues through email was blocked (as we use our company's mail server in the UK) .. this has to stop or at least be amended so that we can also share data between ourselves and be useful to our community ..

Moreover, sanctions cost U.S. companies billions of dollars a year in lost sales and returns on investment—and cost many thousands of workers their jobs. It is a loosing situation for both sides.Salwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198876510473708130noreply@blogger.com
