5:24 pm
a media ocean dominated by mostly western news channels and outlets. 25 years later, that drop has caused ripples the world over forcing a synonymy of change across the globe. before al jazeera launch, the arab world enjoyed little if any media freedom citizens from iraq to martine. you were told what to think and say, through state own channels that focused on glorifying their leaders, whilst ignoring the concerns of ordinary people. but when the channel began broadcasting under the slogans of the opinion and the other opinion and the voice of the voiceless, it's on the respect and recognition of millions and it's viewership rocketed. while most media outlets were embedded with american and british forces during the occupation of iraq odyssey were reported, the otherwise untold story of the human cost of the war as it had done before. and i've got to stand. but this came at a heavy price. odyssey ra journalists were injured, arrested,

5:26 pm
while local, regional, and even some international channels failed to acknowledge the historic protests that became known as the arab spring. all the while the network remained loyal to its other motto, giving era time to everyone, including the regimes that were cracking down on their own people. in 2017, and a testament to how influential al jazeera had become a blockade on that, that was imposed by egypt, saudi arabia, bar crane, and the united arab emirates, they insisted the channel must be shut down for the blockade to be lifted. a demand rejected by cutters leader whose country hosts the network. so you're not going to shut down. i'll just know when the country's ruler sticking to the commitments made by his father on the day the channel was launched back in 1996 and rest assured the channels freedom will not be restricted politically. it'll be a platform for every opinion. what started off as an arabic language channel 25
