Yes but we are speaking about Turkey.
Kiwix is offline but also *portable*. It's sufficient to download once and
to distribute many times.
Kind regards

Yes, we need to promote Kiwix. We need to ensure that
people with no
internet access can get Kiwix and that means that we do need to "clone
Wikipedia content".
It is quite expensive to download Kiwix because of the huge data charge
that it implies, and it also takes for ever with a poor connection. We tend
to forget that when we live in countries where we have 24H 7/7 unlimited
internet...

zero? May be not, unless the issue of net neutrality is clearly
addressed.
We need to remember that some countries had to
ban different zero
services,
as they clearly violated net neutrality and
people were against them.

In these cases the big advantage is the capacity
to be cloned. A
governement can block an ip or a domain but it would be hard to block
internet.
The good approach is to invite the web to host kiwix and zim files for
downloading. That would be easier than cloning Wikipedia content.
However that approach will save readers but not writers.
