Angelina Jolie Pens Article for ‘The Economist’
She’s a super mom, a super star, a super significant other and now she’s a super columnist. Angelina has written a column for The Economist’s annual The World issue calling for accountability in Darfur. The high minded, intellectual publication features similar articles from “several presidents, an exiled god-king[gotta find out more about this one], the head of the United Nations and other political heavyweights.”
Here are some quotes from the article:
– “Accountability is perhaps the only force powerful enough to break the cycle of violence and retribution that marks so many conflicts.?
– “I hope that the Sudanese government will hand over the government minister and the Janjaweed militia leader who have been indicted for war crimes (by the International Criminal Court in The Hague), and that the teenager I met in Chad will get the trial he seeks.?
– “I hope that those responsible for the atrocities in Darfur will be held to account, not only for that young man’s sake, but for the world’s.?
Other contributers include French president Nicolas Sarkozy, Mexican president Felipe Calderón, the Dalai Lama, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, and Korean-born United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon.
The annual issue stays on newsstands all year long and retails for £4.95 in the United Kingdom. You should be able to find a copy internationally.
This is Angie’s second column on Darfur. She wrote similar column for the Washington Post earlier this year.
I can’t wait to read the entire article. If anyone has scans please send them my way.
