The skype is falling in
This is a commercial break. Or at least a break in the transmission of skype communication for those we have been calling this way. An error message, that Skype cannot connect, is a euphemism for it being blocked by the authorities in Abu Dhabi.
I checked the internet and found a site entitled Five simple steps to get Skype working again in the UAE, only to find a block on access with the message This site falls under the prohibited content categories of the UAE’s internet access management policy. Take a look.
We shall call again when normal transmission has resumed.
