While the Western Sahara blog scene abroad is getting so robust it might be called festively plump, I haven't read much from the camps. That was, at least, until an anonymous commenter on this post about Western Sahara blogs pointed me to Mujeres de Dajla, a blog about women in the Dakhla camp in Tindouf.Despite 7 years of Spanish before college and the loving care of my Chilean host family, my command of Spanish isn't enough for Mujeres de Dajla. Indeed, they're only reminding me why I loved Babelfish so much in high school. But I'll try and puzzle some things out anyway.
- The Mujeres de Dajla are crafty enough to use Wordpress.
- They've opened a pizzeria in the camps! It's delicious, but no Ray's Pizza.
- The women produce clothes, some of which goes to charity and some of which is sold.
- Sahrawi women are business-minded and productive, if their blog is anything to go by.
