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 jillian!
another hot topic in morocco, your good falowing the changes in morocco, you can change the map you show up here, you know that we are very sensetive to our territorial integrety.
thank you
Jalal nali,
Israelis are sensitive to their “territorial integrity” too - does that mean we should remove Palestine?
Again, no.
Palestinians want their “territorial integrity”, which means that “Isreal” should be removed, and not be at all.
Back to track, which your comment Jillian, you state that you don’t believe in the Moroccan integrity?
I stated no such thing. I don’t agree with Morocco’s handling of the issue, and avoidance of a referendum, but without having been to Western Sahara and having seen it with my own eyes, I cannot make a decision on what is or is not right.
