Benjamin Mkapa at UN
President of the UN Assembly and delegates of the UN nations, I thank you for this special moment in which you have allowed me to express myself.
Tanzania, like Africa, is plagued by poverty and destruction, caused by weak governments and the post-colonialism that continues to plague the continent, particularly France, which is unable to even give back what is due to us.
I, Benjamin Mkapa, President of Tanzania, request support from All nations, through partnerships, aid, NGO aid, and trade agreements. Tanzania is a nation full of resources that former colonial powers have used and exploited. Please lend us a hand to receive what you need in the gold and energy sectors, anything else?
We have it or we will have it, but first we need a hand
