Welcome IRAQ!

Haan al-Irsaal (Arabic for Streamtime), was born in the spring of 2004 when in the attic of Cultural Political centre De Balie in Amsterdam two journalists and a hacker joined their forces with the purpose to promote independent, free speech web-radio and blogging from Iraq.

So long, Streamtime consists of a rich collection of sound recordings and more texts and stories in our archive, a unique narration about the many Iraqi bloggers who where online since the beginning of the war in Iraq.

We hope one day our archive will become a book, as it represents the first effort in history to facilitate and document the massive usage of the Internet as a medium for liberation from dictatorship and war. The dream behind Streamtime was that of bringing peace by making people meet across the far ends of the Internet. Please be welcome to get in touch with us about this.
