The following is the text of an email I received today from Curt Hopkins of the Committee to Protect Bloggers:
Announcing "Enough is Enough": Citizen
Media for Zimbabwe's Democracy Movement.
I'm writing to make you aware of an interesting new
project called, “Enough is Enough” (http://www.enoughzimbabwe.org). Enough is
Enough is a blog devoted to news and analysis of the African country of
Zimbabwe, from the inside out.
Once the “breadbasket of Africa,”
in recent decades, under the increasingly tyrannical rule of Robert Mugabe,
Zimbabwe has become a wasteland. However, in Zimbabwe, activists, including many
bloggers, are attempting to reverse that trend. The editor of Enough is Enough,
the blogger known as The Zimbabwean Pundit (http://zimpundit.blogspot.com/), is
prominent among them.
Enough is Enough was conceptualized, planned
and built by the Committee to Protect Bloggers’
(http://committeetoprotectbloggers.civiblog.org/) Curt Hopkins
(http://morphemetales.blogspot.com), Marshall Kirkpatrick (http://marshallk.com)
and Brian Schartz (http://blogswana.wordpress.com).
Enough is
Enough is a translation of the Ndebele phrase, “Sokwanele” and the Shona
equivalent, Zvakwana. These are also the names of two cooperating pro-democracy
groups in the country. (http://www.sokwanele.com/)
(http://www.zvakwana.com/). (They are not officially related to this
project.)
Zimpundit will write regular postings for the site, which
also contains automated feeds of news, blog posts, photos and multimedia files.
Enough is Enough is designed to act as a blog aggregator, an information
exchange for concerned Zimbabweans within the country, and a “bridge blog” to
carry the news in that country (now completely devoid of an independent press)
to the outside world.
Stop by and give Zim your support. He and
his fellow Zimbabweans have got a long row to hoe. _______________________________________
