People are influenced by how they’re governed
“People are influenced by how they’re governed. We’re talking about entire generations that lived under the former regime. So, there’s no magic wand to solve these conflicts. People used to live in suspicion and fear of one another. Today, we are capable of creating a new life, where people can trust each other. But the situation requires patience and long-term strategic plans in every sphere of life.”

A revolutionary mindset
“A revolutionary mindset cannot build a country. A revolution is characterized by agitation and recationary behavior, which may work for overthrowing a regime but is not suitable for building one. That’s why I say today that for us, the revolution is over. It’s part of our history that we cherish and celebrate, but we shouldn’t carry its mentality over into this phase. Imagine trying to build the country with factions.”
