Didn’t he want to be unknown?

June 16, 2006

I could swear he wanted to blog anonymously, but it changed it seem

Ziad al-Duaij, a 41-year-old Kuwaiti communications executive, points to his “Kuwait Unplugged” blog, one of the longest-running blogs in the Gulf region, at his home in Kuwait City. Duaij is part of a new breed of of Arab activists who are increasingly using blogs to press for more political rights and civil liberties in conservative Gulf states.

  1. I saw Zaydoun in an online article way back in summer 2004 - and his photo too. That is how I found Kuwaiti blogs. That and through Badu-Inc.

  8. People just know who he is now. It has become a known thing. Like my identity. So many people know who I am and love to complain about the whole Links post.
