My fellow revolutionaries, liberation is a noble cause. We must fight to obtain it.

You know what I would have said? 'What noble cause did my son die for?'

This is not a noble cause. This is a nobility cause.

What is the 'noble cause' for which you sent our country to war?

Around 80% of Liberians are unemployed and only half of all children go to primary school. Just one in 20 go on to secondary school. Young children are on the streets instead of in the classrooms. We are not giving them the opportunity to learn and they will struggle to get jobs when they grow up.

I can see in your eyes, I can see in your faces, I can see you cry. But what I want to say, there's no reason to cry. Do not, in the name of peace, go in the streets and riot.
