Owing to the volume of articles being submitted to Pambazuka News, and the need to highlight two key events - the 50th Anniversary of Ghana and International Women's Day - we decided to send out this week's newsletter in three parts. On 7 March 2007, we published articles relating to these events together with the second part of two important articles published last week.

On 8 March, we are publishing the second part of Pambazuka News, featuring Mahmood Mamdani's article on Darfur entitled 'The Politics of Naming: Genocide, Civil War, Insurgency'. On 9 March we will publish our usual Links and Resources.
