Maghreb Blog Review V

Magharebia continues its Maghreb blog review column focusing this time on the World Information Summit that took place in Tunisia from November 16 to November 18, 2005.The website claims that though largely covered by the media, bloggers did not say much about the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Although Magharebia kindly linked to a comment I myself posted on the WSIS, I shall note that the majority of the Maghreb blogosphere, at least the ones I read on a regular basis, did in fact talk about WSIS with various reactions between those who praised the Summit and its outcome and those who criticized it in general. Besides WSIS, Magharebia raises again the previously discussed issue, the rioting in France, focusing on how Maghreb bloggers and their French counterparts reacted differently to such incidents.
