Marcus Bleasdale: Congo the Forgotten War podcast

Posted in

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.
