Nobody as of today can produce any oral or written statement from me talking about changing the constitution.

The father of democracy is Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister after our independence, who was assassinated under conditions that to this day nobody can clearly understand. So, for me, this title is not the most important thing. You can go down in history as the father of democracy, but you can also go down as the person who brought about chaos just by stepping down.

We are not going to finance elections when we need to fight to win back occupied territory.

What is the situation today? We have a united country. We have a single currency. We have managed to stabilize the economy, despite difficulties. We could talk all day about all those achievements.

The West exploited Africa and now it wants to save it. We have been living with this hypocrisy for too long. Africa can only be saved by Africans.

When Europe senses danger, it needs to do something to keep all the Africans at home where they belong.

One of the reasons why a number of people have decided to go into the opposition were the reforms we carried out.
