An active and passionate blogging community member himself, Amer will be trolling the Kuwait blogs for interesting bits to compile.

  3. Intlx thanks for the kind comments! I have two posts up already and I am doing the English language posts – Forzaq8 is also co-author and will cover the Arabic language posts -the work isn’t particularly hard its the selection, making sure everyone gets a fair share and the topics are varied and balanced.

    Thanks again and my best to all.

  4. BTW bloggers, if you are reading this and usually post in Arabic, but prefer English coverage of your post, send a brief translated paragraph to webmaster@hilaliya.com and hopefully we can insert it in the ‘Global Voices’ Kuwait thread.

    To give you an idea of what a blogger mini post will look like check: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/04/23/kuwait-blackberry-lunches-arab-sex-talk-and-election-responsibility-plea/
