Quote of the day

The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape

— Vaclav Havel

poDcast(8): a week on openDemocracy

openDemocracy
This week in the oD poDcast: an audio tribute to Hrant Dink, a distinctive African film, the revival of the Taliban and the global gender divide.
1 - 03 - 2007

Welcome to openDemocracy's poDcast.

This week sees a return to topical debate:

African film director Abderrahmane Sissako talks to openDemocracy about his new film Bamako, the IMF, the world Bank and relationships.

We have a special report from the UN Commission on the Status of Women and we discuss the military implications of the Taliban's revival in Afghanistan.

We also bring you an audio tribute to Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, a key figure in democratic dialogue in Turkey, who was shot outside the offices of his newspaper Agos last month.
