After almost 10 years spent in Afghanistan, the Swiss journalist Franz MARTY is going to share his reflections with the Caucasian Journal Club. Franz is a freelance journalist who, between December 2014 and June 2023, including during the Taliban takeover in August 2021, lived and worked in Afghanistan. While there, he conducted exclusive interviews with Taliban (before and after their return to power) as well as unaccompanied investigative reporting from remote and hostile corners of the country.
Mr. Marty is a fellow of the Swiss Institute For Global Affairs and has written for The Diplomat, Jane's, The Afghanistan Analysts Network, Weltwoche, and Neue Zürcher Zeitung, among others. He has also contributed to numerous live broadcasts on CNN, Deutsche Welle, France 24, BBC World Service, and Radio France Internationale.
The Caucasian Journal Club meetings hosted by ICC Georgia are free and relaxed discussions on the premises of the largest business association, overlooking Tbilisi from the Mtatsminda hill. They usually consist of a brief introductory part presented by the speaker, followed by questions and answers.
The Club meetings are closed door events for up to 45 attendees. As number of seats is limited, an advance reservation is essential. Admission fee: 30 GEL in advance or 35 GEL on the spot. Please register by email at Club@CaucasianJournal.org or by direct message to our Facebook page.
Date: Tuesday, November 21 2023, at 18:00. Location: ICC Georgia, 3/29 Polikarpe Kakabadze Street (see map in the attached PDF file)
