We consider a complete nonsingular variety X over \bC, having a normal
crossing divisor D such that the associated logarithmic tangent bundle is
generated by its global sections. We show that Hi(X,L−1⊗ΩXj(logD))=0 for any nef line bundle L on X and all i<j−c, where c is an explicit function of (X,D,L). This implies e.g. the
vanishing of Hi(X,L⊗ΩXj) for L ample and i>j, and
gives back a vanishing theorem of Broer when X is a flag variety
