"The economic crisis we’re going through today is not only African in origin, nor is it limited to Africa. But I would urge all forces that have a stake in world economic development to look at Africa as one of the continents that will safeguard the world’s future, given its virginity in terms of resources; both in material and human terms"

"Reparations are just about having good cooperation, investments"

"I think we have this openness to grow together. And it is a spirit that should also spread to several European countries where there are no superiors and inferiors"

"There was also the understanding that Portugal was a country that also needed to grow, to free itself"

"We need effective social cohesion so that our young people and community members are not engaged in the terrorist cause"

"This is a model of so-called hidden terrorism, where no agenda is presented, but there are continuous terrorist acts against the population and institutions"

"Socialist countries thought they were able to help newly independent countries to develop or consolidate their independence, but that was not supported by the facts"

"Those who do violent things are bad people, not good people"

"Bad people can’t stop us from doing what is good. Let us focus on the campaign and not let ourselves be distracted. Let all parties and citizens work together for the best!"

"Africa is winning the battle to resolve violent conflicts on the continent"

"Africans share the same destiny, and as such they need to unite and act collectively"

"One area that we should focus on is the holding of credible elections. Post-election violence has been on the rise in Africa and maligns the volatility of the electoral process on our continent. We have seen a significant rise in challenges to the way electoral processes are conducted in Africa, with accusations of electoral fraud and vote rigging"

"The peace that we brought to Mozambique was not easy, but it brought us many friends and sparked a good deal of dialogue within our society, along with the return of many freedoms, thus allowing us to begin a new life"
