Egypt to end visas on arrival for Qataris

Egypt said it would end visas on arrival for Qatari citizens as a dispute between four Arab states and the Gulf emirate continues over allegations that Doha supports terrorism. The measure, which goes into effect on Thursday, will not include spouses of Egyptians or university students who will be granted tourist visas on arrival, foreign ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said. The decision was announced on Monday as Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Sabah, who is trying to mediate an end to the dispute. Shoukry insisted that Qatar has to meet the demands of the Arab bloc to end an embargo, a foreign ministry statement said. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have demanded that Qatar stop supporting the Muslim Brotherhood movement and close broadcaster Al-Jazeera which they accuse of inciting unrest in their countries. The Gulf crisis is the worst to hit the region since the establishment of the Gulf Cooperation Council in 1981. AFP

Following the recent update of Telegram (the only instant messaging platform that beats WhatsApp hands down) has brought to light VoIp meaning you can now make calls to fellow Telegram contacts without the use of Carrier airtime. But i went same way some other Social media platforms in Iran as the Muslim majority country has completely block the feature across the country. According to the Minister of Information and Communication Technology (Mahmod Vaezi)said: "We are always try to choose best for our people and operators, but operators are free to block audio calls if it has a financial reason (not political)". Since Telegram made a great job on voip calls, high quality and low internet usage, checking your Telegram settings the first thing you'll see is "call" and with just a click you beeping you contact. this means more talk time with your data or internet service just like Viber and the rest (WhatApp) lolz.

Ladies and Gentlemen,  Today 4th of November 2014BC in my quest for a better life and satistaction I hereby take this bold step, spread my wings to join this race of blogging.  My philosophy in life is that " life is Lexis and structure and the only rule is fill in the gap but i must say you must mind the gap".  Am on this platform as somebody ready to bridge some (few) gaps in information communication technology with the little I know and with much desire to learn -  I am teachable.  Internet gurus should see me as a brother and make their constructive criticism and credits would be given as deserved.  ...until lamb becomes a lion.
