Blogs around the World Update IX

Here's the long-overdue update to the Blogs around the World project:

For Africa, I've added the Zombyboy-sponsored, and new, AfricaBlog. It's a must-read.

For Norway, on the recommendation of Beth, I've added Secular Blasphemy.

For Samoa, I've added Andrew Hecht's American Idle. Andrew also provides a handy list of other Peace Corps workers' websites.

From his list, I've added two sites for Nepal: Happenings in the Life and Times of Nathan Blom and The Peace Corps Experience of Scott Allan Wallick.

At the suggestion of Policomm, I've added (for Cyprus, obviously) Cyprus News.

For Finland, I've added Rye Beer (mmm, beer).

For Europe, I've added the Europundit (not to be confused with the EuroPundits).

For Germany, I've added Tobias Schwarz's Almost a diary.

Via The Flying Penguin, I've added, for Bahrain, Mahmood's Den.

For Kenya, I've added Unganisha.org. Lots of interesting stuff inside this site.

For Israel, I've added Israellycool.

For Afghanistan, I've added a link to the Afghanistan Online Forum and Michael Ubaldi's
uBlog Afghan Watch.

For Iraq, I've added Ishtar talking and Juan Cole *Informed Comment*.

For South Korea, I've added Kathreb.

For the Czech Republic, I've added Nicmoc blog.

For Egypt, I've added Willblog.

For Bangladesh, I've added The 3rd World View.

Finally, for the United Arab Emirates, I've added Desertdame.

Please note that not all of these bloggers, and not all of the other bloggers on the list, are physically located in the region to which I've assigned them. For countries or continents that are under-represented, I've included sites that choose to focus on them from afar. Distant attention is better than none.

I hope any readers will take some time to visit these newly-added sites. As always, additional suggestions are sought via comment or email. For anyone interested, I should have an update to the Blogs around the U.S.A. project ready soon, too. Happy reading!
