The Tragedy Of Civil Wars In Countries Like Angola And Mozambique Is That They Left Many Civilians Maimed. Poverty Is The Reason Hiv/aids Spread So Rapidly In The African Townships And Slums. Poverty Is The Real Killer.

I Ask You And All The Leaders Of The World: Would You Act Differently, Would You Keep Silent And Do Nothing If You Were In Our Place? Would You Not Resist If You Were Allowed No Rights In Your Own Country Because The Color Of Your Skin Is Different To That Of The Rulers, And If You Were Punished For Even Asking For Equality? I Appeal To You, And Through You To All The Countries Of The World, To Do Everything You Can To Stop The Coming Tragedy. I Appeal To You To Save The Lives Of Our Leaders, To Empty The Prisons Of All Those Who Should Never Have Been There.

Age Is Getting To Know All The Ways The World Turns, So That If You Cannot Turn The World The Way You Want, You Can At Least Get Out Of The Way So You Won't Get Run Over.

I Have One Thing In Common With The Emerging Black Nations Of Africa: We Both Have Voices, And We Are Discovering What We Can Do With Them.

I Have To Go And Say Farewell To All The Countries That I Have Been To, If I Can. I Am 73 Now, It Is Taxing On Me.
