On March 21, 2011 Sudan's Youth Movement day was born. Youths from universities across Sudan linked and shared information on Facebook and Twitter as a way of setting up a new stage for a new round of protests against the government of Omar al-Bashir.

The campaign on Facebook that has brought together many young Sudanese students is run under the slogan, “Because I am a free Sudanese, I will go out and say NO”. The campaign is lead by a Facebook group called “The Spark” or  “Youth for Change Movement”.
Below are some tweets from the different voices inside and outside Sudan about the March 21 protests.

Sudan's cyber-activists are changing the world around them. As much as they want to be connected to the world through the Internet, they also want to be part of the local movement for change in Sudan. The coming of fiber optic cables in many Sub-Saharan African countries will certainly empower young people in the region to voice their opinions and contribute to political change.
Following online campaigns such as The Spark, Sudan's ruling National Congress Party has warned that its “cyber jihadists” will crush online campaigns against the government.
