Entitled Power and Freedom, the second of Wole Soyinka's lectures examines how difficult it is to tell friend from foe in a climate of fear. Organisations set up as forces for freedom and justice can themselves become tyrannical. And it's not just countries that control people's lives, for "quasi-states" have emerged which operate outside conventional international frameworks. Soyinka looks at the recent histories of his own country, Nigeria, and that of Algeria, where the success of the fundamentalist Islamic party in the first round of the 1991 election rocked the state to its core.
