Bahraini blogger Ali Abdulemam wonders how four Emirati citizens who were allegedly attacked by a group of Bahrainis received a rapid official response, including a visit from the Bahraini Prime Minister: “This is how fast the justice is, we don't need courts, we don't need story details.”
In Bahrain, Ashish Gorde comments: “I really don't know Michael Jackson and, for that matter, neither does any of the scribes who have written loud commentaries on his life, his career, his legacy. What I know of him is what the media presented to the world. And now it is the loss of that image we mourn.”

Hi Amira,
Actually, I decided to stop blogging on MoTIC, an IT blog that was covering IT, and mostly telecoms and media news in Morocco. MoTIC is also a reference for Net censorship in Morocco. Given how the authorities in Morocco handle Internet and technology, I no longer consider that an outspoken blog has its place.
Please note that I continue to blog on my second blog (about economics), less known: EcoMaroc.
this is really sad news. I always admired what Mohamed was doing on Motic.
too bad
