This has just been received from Marcus Bleasdale, winner of the 2006 World Press Daily Life award and the Overseas Press Club's Olivier Rebbot Award. I might add that Marcus should be commended for his speech at the OCP dinner. There was a weirdly giddy atmosphere full of jokes and backslaps, and Marcus's words, well, the kind might say they focused, and I would say forced, those attending to put down their drinks and listen to what is happening in the darkest corners of the world. From Marcus's email: "During this past year I have spent much of my time covering the historic events in the Democratic Republic of Congo and if you wish, you can view a collection of my work over the past years on www.marcusbleasdale.com/podcast you can also watch it on the website or subscribe and watch it on your video ipod if you are lucky enough to have one." This is a direct link to his podcast. I am also posting this link to Marcus's book, One Hundred Years of Darkness, which covers the same region.
