Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 22:00:13 +0100 (CET) From: Steffen Thorsen <straen@thorsen.priv.no> Apparently, Sudan started using DST on January 15th. I was informed of this by Michael De Beukelaer-Dossche <michaeldbd@yahoo.com> which is in Khartoum at the moment. Thanks very much for this info; I'll include it in the next proposed patch to the public-domain tz data. Sudan is not exactly over-exposed when it comes to Internet web sites, That's an understatement. As far as I can tell, Sudan has zero accessible web sites right now. Two domains are registered under .sd (gnpoc.com.sd and sudatel.net.sd), but neither is reachable from Los Angeles right now -- requests to those domains get into a routing loop when they hit Abu Dhabi. I checked archives of Africa News Online and the Johannesburg Daily Mail & Guardian for news about the time zone change, but came up empty. For lack of better information, I'll assume that the transition occurred at 00:00 local time on January 15, and that it's a permanent switch to UTC+3 (EAT).
