Our Blogger Friends: Zambia
This is the first part of an occasional series called Let’s Help Our Blogger Friends Around The World. Since we blog in basic freedom in the United States, we should offer help to others not so lucky.
Global Voices has a feature article about the rise of blogs in Zambia.
According to World Almanac And Book Of Facts 2007, Zambia is a nation in Africa of just over 11 million people. Under the British it was called Northern Rhodesia. Independence was gained in 1964.
The political history of Zambia since independence is a familiar story of corruption and a lack of basic freedoms.
Here is a link to some basic facts about Zambia.
Here is a link to a blog called Issues Over Matters written by a Gersham Ndhlovu. Mr. Ndhlovu was at one point in conflict with the authorities in Zambia for his opposition to a third-term for a former Zambian President.
Here is Zambia Forests by I.P.A Manning. This is about conservation in Zambia.
Here is New Zambia. This is a well-done blog of news and views.
The photo above is of a billboard put up by the Anti-Corruption League of Zambia. I think we should have such billboards here in America.
Here is a link to the photo credit for the picture.
