Blogswarm: list of Pakistani blogs, their news of pushback against Musharraf


I’ve written about The Media Line before as a unique source for news about and from the Middle East. If you sign up as a blog user (free and simple compared to others’ processes), you can get a list of blogs from more than 20 different countries in the Middle East. I can’t vouch for how they are selected but the list is a place to start.

Here are a few to try in Pakistan. And if you’re not sure why you should be following Pakistani blogs, all you need to know is this, from the New York Times above the fold this morning, “Ousted Justice in Pakistan Urges Defiance.” And from The Media Line, an article that examines the turmoil’s impact on Pakistan’s economy.

Metroblogging Lahore Pakistan – a group blog out of Lahore – video of protests

Nessland – writing from Karachi – he writes:

In this sad state of affairs and complete chaos within just one person, the whole nation stands at such crossroads that the future seems uncertain infinitely. I don’t really have a lot of words but I can say that I would love to have this power and I would hate to abuse it, especially like the way it is being abused now.

PAK::Affairs – read the post, Martial Law Lite: What does this mean and why now?

Political Pakistan – The Glasshouse – read the post, Reconciliation and All Out War

Is Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf’s declaration of martial law objectively outrageous?  Or is it not so black and white?
