Intervention Only Works When The People Concerned

I And Some Colleagues Came To The Conclusion That As Violence In This Country Was Inevitable, It Would Be Wrong And Unrealistic For African Leaders To Continue Preaching Peace And Non-violence At A Time When The Government Met Our Peaceful Demands With Force. It Was Only When All Else Had Failed, When All Channels Of Peaceful Protest Had Been Barred To Us, That The Decision Was Made To Embark On Violent Forms Of Political Struggle.

There Are Many People Who Feel That It Is Useless And Futile To Continue Talking About Peace And Non-violence Against A Government Whose Only Reply Is Savage Attacks On An Unarmed And Defenceless People.

Our People Outside Of Prison Used My Name To Mobilize The Community Locally And Internationally. But For Me To Be Treated Separately From My Colleagues, Who Had Contributed As Much As And Even More Than I Had, Would Have Been A Betrayal Of Them.

One Of The Most Difficult Things Is Not To Change Society - But To Change Yourself.

We Shall Immunize Every Child In Africa To Get Rid Of This Terrible Disease Forever.
