Al-Jazeera in English

2 Comments ~ 695 views ~ Published: November 25th, 2006

The rather controversial Arabic channel, Al-Jazeera, that started broadcasting in Arabic 10 years ago, now has an English channel.

Here in Ghana, Metro TV has been showing live programming of Al-Jazeera for many hours, everyday. At least, we now have news and views from another perspective, as opposed to the western propaganda we were hitherto being bombarded with, by BBC World, CNN and DW-TV.

I have been watching the new channel and can only say that its a welcome development.

  I guess they are only mirroring the reality in the Middle East.

Comment of the Month: January 2010

It’s really laughable, the theatrical performance of a few slobbering power-crazed sociopaths who call themselves the ruling class in Nigeria.
Why laughable?

BBC World Service is the official radio service for Britain. Which is Nigeria’s? FRCN (Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria)and VON (Voice of Nigeria).
Now the president (or his cronies) wants to offer a backhanded proof of life and all they can come up with is BBC.Why not FRCN or VON? They could even cook up a techno sideline by sending mass SMS purportedly from the president to all GSM users in Nigeria. This sure will generate a lot of interest and discuss and will cast the president as a man who respects his citizens and those who voted(?)him into office.

The failed terrorist plot? No comment from him too.
If you ask me, I’d say he is either dead or seriously incapacitated BBC or not. Period!
