An article on the BBC website has revealed that several Iraqi bloggers have been forced to leave the country. A few have left out their own will citing the increasing violence as the motivating factor.

Here is a list of some of the bloggers:

  • City called Hell - Where date palms grow - daily account of a personal vision of Bagdhad
  • Neurotic Iraqi Wife - Newlywed works and lives in Bagdhads Green Zone and blogs about her every day life.
  • Nabils Blog - 19year old Iraqui Nablis blogs from Jordan.
  • Days of My Life - "Talk about daily life of a teenage girl in Iraq, and days of suffer and success. My nick name will be Sunshine."
  • A Star from Mosul - 19 year old student "Aunt Najma" from Mosul blogs about her life in Iraq, family holidays and her first year in university.
  • Last of Iraqis - 25 years old dentist lives in Baghdad and is afraid that Iraqis are going to extinct soon. "so I made this blog wishing that I can make a difference or even share my grief with the whole world and give them an idea about what's happening here from the point of view of a civilian living in the war zone not from the politicians nor people who gets their benefits from the conditions."
  • 24 Steps to Liberty - Iraqi student of journalism blogs from Berkeley, California.
