A quick look at
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/imc-baghdad/2003-May/
suggests that the content is provided by Iraqis living in Baghdad; but
as of a day or two ago, it was all typed on a single laptop owned by a
well-intentioned US person (VITW) who doesn't speak Arabic. The people
reading the *internet* version are probably mostly from the West, but
who knows, maybe regional (Arabic-reading) people are accessing it
too. The printed version was apparently distributed locally in big
numbers.

Anyway, this is not a new-imc thread. Please post US-US discussions at
imc-us-process at lists.indymedia.org or if you think you can help
concretely with Al Muajaha (which might eventually turn into IMC
Baghdad) please go to imc-baghdad at lists.indymedia.org .
