| | Address at the University of Havana, Cuba |
 | | We speak about the need for the African Renaissance in part so that we, ourselves, and not another, determine who we are, what we stand for, what our vision and hopes are, how we do things, what programs we adopt to make our lives worth living, who we relate to and how. |
 | | Indeed, this declaration of an African century, born of the confidence and determination of a free and independent people, is an aspect of a continuum, of which Cuito Cuanavale is an integral and an inalienable part. |
 | | Furthermore, the African Recovery Programme must have both as an integral part and a condition for its success, an end to coups d'etats and the imposition of military governments on the peoples of Africa, an end to destructive violent conflicts and the defeat of elites that corruptly enrich themselves at the expense of the people. |
