00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,420
My name is Ruy Duarte Barros. I'm the member of the advisory board of the ICD.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,420
Some are here for a speech about cultural diplomacy and human rights in Africa.

3
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:16,420
You know, when you hear about Africa, only you hear bad words.

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,100
Malaria, corruption, fighting, etc., etc.

5
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,600
But they have very good perspective in Africa.

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:34,020
I think in 50 years we'll come Africa will be a great continent and it will be a very great continent for foreign investment.

7
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:39,820
So, you are right. We're still facing a lot of big problems in Africa.

8
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:41,940
The problem of corruption is still there.

9
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,820
And we are rich, but we are poor at the same time.

10
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,500
Yeah, exactly.

11
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:52,340
So, what we should do? We must address our problems by ourselves.

12
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,840
Our corrupt leaders, we must take them down.

13
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:59,320
Not to go every time to the IMF, World Bank, to ask for money.

14
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,760
And then we repay this money and nothing is happening in the country.

15
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:11,480
So, I think our big challenge is to work for our country and to solve the problem by ourselves.

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:21,600
If you see more than 93% of murder in Africa is doing by themselves, by themselves, by African.

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,180
It's not by foreigners.

18
00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:26,560
And sometimes they are misunderstanding.

19
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:31,860
If you see the problem of Libya, what is growing now in all Western Africa.

20
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:35,020
But what is the problem of Libya?

21
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:39,200
The big democracy destroys Libya.

22
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,520
And the terrorism is spreading everywhere in Africa.

23
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,060
And this is very bad.

24
00:01:44,140 --> 00:01:50,220
We must be conscientious and to fight against this cause and to work together to develop our continent.

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Because they have a very, very, very interesting perspective in the future for Africa.

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,980
I want to tell you something very good.

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,420
You know, turkeys are very active in Africa now.

28
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:02,620
You can see turkeys are alive everywhere.

29
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,260
You can see investors from Turkey in West Africa.

30
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:06,360
This is very good.

31
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,100
We need to choose the good partner to work with and to help us go ahead.

32
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:10,620
Thank you.

33
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:11,000
Thank you.

34
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,420
Thank you.

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,100
Thank you very much.

36
00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:12,580
Thank you.

37
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:13,040
Thank you.

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:43,020
Thank you.
