The soldiers came again and took all their vegetables and all their belongings. I think that people basically believe in life. Among poor people especially, they don t think that anything is due to them, and so they begin again. But if you ve always had to struggle, you begin again. Especially people with children, they believe in their children so they continue.
People are sane.
Africans on the whole are very healthy people, bodily and morally. Even physically, Africans are very strong, except of course those people who have been hit by famine and war and disease. And very healthy in mind. The traditions in Africa have very sane origins. When you see Nelson Mandela after twenty-seven years, he can come out as the icon of his people.
