Thank you Meg! I was interviewing all the major participants in the 1990 People's Movement, intending to write an article or book about it. I never did, though, not least because I worked for another 20-some years for the World Bank—and as a serving World Bank staff member, I was not free to write about the politics of a country in which I had been working. That constraint no longer applies, and I will at some point post more about the 1990 revolution.
What an absolutely extraordinary meeting, Nigel. With an extraordinary man.
You don't say quite what you were doing there that night but it makes thrilling reading.

Such heady potential in 1990 and today…..?!
