My name is Ruy Duarte Barros. I'm the member of the advisory board of the ICD.

00:06.200 --> 00:12.420
Some are here for a speech about cultural diplomacy and human rights in Africa.

00:13.180 --> 00:16.420
You know, when you hear about Africa, only you hear bad words.

00:17.360 --> 00:21.100
Malaria, corruption, fighting, etc., etc.

00:21.240 --> 00:23.600
But they have very good perspective in Africa.

00:23.600 --> 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.

00:34.660 --> 00:39.820
So, you are right. We're still facing a lot of big problems in Africa.

00:40.300 --> 00:41.940
The problem of corruption is still there.

00:43.180 --> 00:46.820
And we are rich, but we are poor at the same time.

00:46.920 --> 00:47.500
Yeah, exactly.

00:47.620 --> 00:52.340
So, what we should do? We must address our problems by ourselves.

00:52.340 --> 00:55.840
Our corrupt leaders, we must take them down.

00:55.940 --> 00:59.320
Not to go every time to the IMF, World Bank, to ask for money.

00:59.960 --> 01:03.760
And then we repay this money and nothing is happening in the country.

01:04.260 --> 01:11.480
So, I think our big challenge is to work for our country and to solve the problem by ourselves.

01:11.480 --> 01:21.600
If you see more than 93% of murder in Africa is doing by themselves, by themselves, by African.

01:22.360 --> 01:23.180
It's not by foreigners.

01:23.180 --> 01:26.560
And sometimes they are misunderstanding.

01:26.780 --> 01:31.860
If you see the problem of Libya, what is growing now in all Western Africa.

01:31.860 --> 01:35.020
But what is the problem of Libya?

01:37.320 --> 01:39.200
The big democracy destroys Libya.

01:40.100 --> 01:42.520
And the terrorism is spreading everywhere in Africa.

01:42.920 --> 01:44.060
And this is very bad.

01:44.140 --> 01:50.220
We must be conscientious and to fight against this cause and to work together to develop our continent.

01:50.400 --> 01:54.640
Because they have a very, very, very interesting perspective in the future for Africa.

01:54.640 --> 01:56.980
I want to tell you something very good.

01:57.760 --> 02:00.420
You know, turkeys are very active in Africa now.

02:00.980 --> 02:02.620
You can see turkeys are alive everywhere.

02:03.120 --> 02:05.260
You can see investors from Turkey in West Africa.

02:05.740 --> 02:06.360
This is very good.

02:06.440 --> 02:10.100
We need to choose the good partner to work with and to help us go ahead.

02:10.320 --> 02:10.620
Thank you.

02:10.700 --> 02:11.000
Thank you.

02:11.080 --> 02:11.420
Thank you.

02:11.480 --> 02:12.100
Thank you very much.

02:12.260 --> 02:12.580
Thank you.

02:12.740 --> 02:13.040
Thank you.

02:13.040 --> 02:43.020
Thank you.
