The time has come to put an end to the fratricidal war and to recover at last peace and accord.

If your government had given me a thousandth of the sum it spent to depose me, I could have won that war.

Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace is accord. Harmony.

I do not wish a foreign army to spill the blood of my people.

Henceforth, we shall be happy to be a free citizen in an independent country.

As for us, during twenty years' reign, we have known much bitterness.
