The Weblog Awards 2005 - Africa
Africa runs together with the Middle East in the Weblog Awards 2005. I of course voted for Jared's Mozambique, he was in my reading list anyway, but I have to say there are some great blogs nominated for that category:
This is Zimbabwe (many, many links for other African blogs)
Timbuktu Chronicles, more on the financial side
360 Degrees of Sky
The Fishbowl
Mission Safari (I would probably vote for this one if I hadn't voted for Jared
In the meantime here's a bit of Jared for you:
There’s a drought in Mozambique this year. It’s really bad up in Gaza and Inhambane Province. Their crops won’t grow. They can’t sustain life up there. People are starving each and every day. Nothing to see but brown fields and dead trees. When I think of that suffering, I think about the comforts that I rest upon each day here in Maputo. I ate something tasty this morning that I did not grow myself. I ate something at lunch today that I did not cook myself. Every night I go to sleep with a full stomach. Every single night.
You can still vote, until tomorrow!

As for the Best liberal blog, I would probably vote for TalkLeft.
