THE BOB'S
My favourite blog was The Ushahidi Blog.

This blog has become a great tool and source of imformation for understanding many of the different dynamics that happen in that country. It also appears as very good expample or alternative to be followed by other countries like Colombia where voilence is used as an excuse to justify ideological struggle and demagogic speeches. This blog allows people to tell and to know the truth of what really happens and permit a transparent view of the problem, making smokescreens everytime more difficult to be made for those interested in the conflict to be kept.
