Kind Words from Others
"The wonderful Middle East Institute blogger Michael Collins Dunn noted the other day the passing of Amin Huwaydi, the former Egyptian Defense Minister and Intelligence chief . . ."
— Marc Lynch, Abu Aardvark's Middle East Blog at Foreign Policy
"Michael Collins Dunn is the editor of The Middle East Journal. He also blogs. His latest posting summarizes a lot of material on the Iranian election and offers some sensible interpretation. If you are really interested in the Middle East, you should check him out regularly."
— Gary Sick, Gary's Choices
"Since we’re not covering the Tunisian elections particularly well, and neither does Tunisian media, I’ll just point you over here. It’s a great post by MEI editor Michael Collins Dunn, who . . . clearly knows the country pretty well."
— alle, Maghreb Politics Review
"And bookmark that blog! Good posts, long posts, fast pace."
— Maghreb Politics Review again.
"I’ve followed Michael Collins Dunn over at the Middle East Institute’s blog since its beginning in January this year. Overall, it is one of the best blogs on Middle Eastern affairs. It is a selection of educated and manifestly knowledgeable ruminations of various aspects of Middle Eastern politics and international relations in the broadest sense."
— davidroberts at The Gulf Blog
"Michael Collins Dunn over at the indefatigable and ever-informative Middle East Institute Blog puts forward an intriguing case focusing on what he sees to be some level of distortion of coverage of the Yemani conflict."
— davidroberts at The Gulf Blog
"What's amazing about this blog is not just the range of subjects covered but the clear expertise of the blogger in discussing them."
— John T., commenting on "Time Out for Something Completely Different: Punic and Berber Influences on Etruscan?"
"Michael Collins Dunn, editor of the prestigious Middle East Journal, wrote an interesting 'Backgrounder' on the Berriane violence at his Middle East Institute Editor’s Blog. It is a strong piece, but imperfect (as all things are) . . ."
— kal, The Moor Next Door
This great video of Nasser posted on Michael Collins Dunn’s blog (which is one of my favorites incidentally) ...
