Yoani is the voice that Cuba needed for so long.
We hope they don’t silence her!
Congratulations on her award and hopefully the dictatorship of Cuba allows her to travel to Spain to pick it up!
Take care Yoani!

Yoani estamos contigo! Cuidate y sigue diciendo la verdad! La verdad que no le gusta para nada a los dirigentes de cuba. Esa verdad que el mundo entero tiene que saber. Y por favor no te paras nunca. Te amamos desde Europa!

Te felicito Yoani. Soy un cubano de Santos Suarez que ya llevo 47 años fuera de Cuba, y aunque tengo 69 años de edad, tu figura, tu temple y lo que tu representas,pues no estas sola, me rejuvenece y me da de nuevo fe en el futuro. Sigue el buen trabajo y que Dios te bendiga.

Thank you Yoani for speaking in behalf of what the US Government wants to do for Cuba. Thank you for taking their funding to you! This guarantees your “independence”!

The people of Cuba need to understand that the US can turn them that nation into another Haiti, the envy of the Caribbean!

Long live “Freedom”!

Saludos desde Miami:
Aqui todos sabemos de ti(Yoani).
Felicidades,no solo por el premio Ortega y Gasset,sino por la labor ardua y valerosa que tienes a tus espaldas.
Aunque sali de Cuba de nino hace mas de 47 anos(todavia no he regresado),seguimos
acordanonos de Cuba todos los dias,desde los cuentos de las abuelas(QEPD),la historia de nuestros Padres(ya ancianos),nuestra comida,hasta las noticias diarias de Cuba,incluyendo la suya(Yoani).
Yo se que no estoy solo,hay muchos cubanos fuera de Cuba que pensamos casi igual.Queremos ayudar.Tal vez no ha llegado la hora.
Le deseo lo mejor,en nombre de miles que se,que no han escrito todavia.
Hemos dado casi la vuelta al mundo y no hay otra Cuba.
Queremos regresar.
Al futuro,mirar.
Aportar.
Bueno,es suficiente.
Gracias por darnos esperanza,fe y seguir creyendo en Dios.
Bye.

While the football world is enjoying the UEFA European Football Championship, many countries in Africa are restricted to watching 8 tournament games. Jentilisa, blogging from Madagascar, explains that the number of games to be broadcasted was decided by AFNEX (African Network and News Exchange) who bought the rights to the tournament in the region for African national televisions. He argues that Africa is home to many of the elite players who play in major European clubs and soon home of the next FIFA World Cup 2010 in South-Africa and the tournament should not be restricted to rich people who owns satellite dishes. He wishes that Chinese TV CCTV would dispute this monopoly in the future and lower the broadcasting fees for resource limited nations (fr and mg).

From the blog It’s Getting Hot In Here, Jamie posts on last week's torch relay in San Fransisco, and the statement given by Majora Carter when she carried the Olympic torch, and also expressed solidarity with Tibet.

Wilson at Paradise Not Found posts a neat compilation of local blogs roundup for the week and he plans to do so in the future as well. “Welcome to what will be the first of what I hope to become a regular weekly post on the happenings of the local ‘blogsphere', with the word ‘weekly' being less of a ‘once a week' and more of a ‘hopefully I'll remember to post” pun.”
