But, then some voices say, "But can we?
[00:19:38]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Will we? Have we got the courage?"
[00:19:44]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And the majority answers, "Yes we can. Yes we will.
[00:19:49]

Yes we have got the courage if we are together."

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Now we come to the most important part of our roundtable discussions,
[00:30:44]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
but before we do this, I would like to make a few explanations.
[00:30:49]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
We all are aware that the Angola is a very young country,
[00:30:56]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
and that OMA is also a very young country.
[00:31:01]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And not only young, but a country which has just gone through a terrible war.
[00:31:08]

And because of this, as you have seen yourselves,
[00:31:13]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}there are-- We don't have as much facilities as we would like to have.
[00:31:19]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
At the present, being that the priorities
[00:31:23]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
are a question of life and death in this country.
[00:31:29]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And so, although we have tried, the comrades of OMA have put in every effort
[00:31:36]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
to make our work as easy, as, as understandable,
[00:31:45]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
as possible; sometimes it is not possible to do what you want to do.
[00:31:52]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And the last declaration is being translated into French and Portuguese,
[00:32:00]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
but the documents are not ready.
[00:32:03]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
And if we wait for the documents to be ready,
[00:32:06]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
we shall not be able to finish the day.
[00:32:09]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Unfortunately, we have to finish our visit with you. But what we can promise you --
[00:32:16]

Transcription Notes:
20:28 - Swedish song needs to be transcribed. [00:21:32] Pearl Bowser's voice recognized from many other tapes transcribed. 21:45-30:37 - songs in foreign language (native lang of Angola?) need to be transcribed. Needed a few things fixed, and timestamp at end added.
