Irag blog

http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/author/salam-adil/


Blogers name is Salam Ali. He is an Iraqi who has spent most of his life in London.

Salam draws upon a number of blogs from persons living in Iraq who give first person testimony of everyday life and experience in a variety of Iraqi cities. The first blog selected details the emotional turbulence and regular anguish that fills the life of a young Iraqi girl. One blog is about the dearth of electricity and fuel available to the Iraqi people. Another excerpt of a blog tells of the common practice of kidnapping, the countless deaths and of bodies lying/decomposing upon the road. The last excerpted blog voices anger towards the American government for inflicting such horrors upon the Iraqi people and suggests that the Regime of Saddam Hussein was by far a better alternative than the present.

Salim adds very few sentences of his own. He writes so as only to guide the discussion and structure the selected blogs into a coherent and informative unified blog of his own.

Salim provides the links to the entire blogs of which the excerpts were taken from. These links were found to be more detailed and more interesting than Salim’s.

Salim lives in London, whereas these bloger’s actually live in Iraq.
