Thabo Mbeki: “Talking to the Enemy”
The speech by former South African President Thabo Mbeki at the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar, is published on the African Arguments website. It is a meticulous account of the steps taken by the ANC in deciding why, how and when to negotiate with the Apartheid regime, with some closing comments that compare the South African experience with the current situation in Israel/Palestine.
There has been one comment so far (by the indefatigable Abd al-Wahab Abdalla) suggesting that the Sudanese situation is different again.
