This week in the Arabic Language blogsphere:
Let’s start with the hard stuff. Tara from Iraq, has some rare seen images:
Tara then writes:
The white thing surrounded by black color is the bullet and the white line to the right of it is the bleeding in his brain. Some commented that the bullet was slow and stood there in the middle of his head. I do not understand in military terms and the only thought in my mind when the father left the room carrying his kid is that their lives will change forever.
From Kuwait… The Kuwaiti bloggers are playing major role in the recent campaign to modify the electoral law. They launched many online campaigns which were supported by political bodies. However, recently, there is counter unrest between bloggers about the credit of such campaigns.

منذ بداية حملة نبيها خمسة في بداية شهر مايو المنصرم و نحن نلاحظ تركيز بعض الأخوة على عنصر خطير جدا و هو لمن يذهب الفضل أو الكريدت للحملة الوطنية المؤيدة للخمس دوائر؟  …  ما يضايقني شخصيا هو استمرار بعض الأخوة المدونين على العزف على هذا الوتر اللعين و كأننا نسينا السبب الحقيقي للحملة و انصرفنا لتقاسم الغنائم السياسية و تحديد من هو مستر نبيها خمسة و من هي مسز محاربة الفساد و لمن يذهب الفضل في هذه الحملة
