“Nobody can deny that we have a lot of wars going on; brothers killing brothers; we have a lot of diseases and catastrophes. But on the other hand, we have a majority of individuals, both men and women, who are struggling on a daily basis in a heroic way and the outcome of whose struggle leaves no doubt. This is a struggle whose purpose is not to seize power, and I think the strength of our entire society rests on that struggle.” ThinkingMenWarPurposeIndividualStruggleDoubtBrotherMen And WomenKillingHeroicCatastrophe Author:Ousmane Sembene
