My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.

The introduction of political pluralism often quickly led to bad results.

I am in favor of complete freedom of information and of free access to the new communication tools, in particular the Internet.

When they favor the access of other people to education and health care, the countries of the North not only demonstrate generosity or solidarity, but also implement the principles of respecting and promoting human rights.

Economic sanctions rarely achieve the desired results.

In short, we have, among African countries, a duty of solidarity.

The principle of responsibility and collective sanctions is incompatible with the Western concept of justice.
