Brothers and Sisters, members of the National Congress : My speech may differ this time from my previous speeches on such an occasion because weare facing a new stage in our political life after a few years during which great accomplishments and profound changes have been realised. Foremost among the accomplishments fulfilled since I assumed power, was the release of freedoms. For the release of freedoms views are to diver sify and differ and a stage of confusion which I had expected should have existed, as is usually the case after the long absence of freedom . This has never troubled me, being confident that our people would emerge with healthy and true results. It is high time to look at what had been a focus of arguments and controversy in a profound and objective way, especially that I have noticed and felt the bewilderment of the youths -in particular 3 toward conflicting happenings and contradictory views. I am not here to issue judgments on every problem that has been subject to argument. How ever, I wish to direct some advice to our youths and ask them to read, think and examine the his tory of their country and its circumstances, in order to reach sound conclusions and so that they will not be deceived by high sounding flowerywords or by falsehoods. As I have repeatedly said, we are facing a very complicated world that is chang ing rapidly. Amidst all these variables and turning points, we can only maintain our balance and cla rity of vision through our realisation of the history of our country, its circumstances, and the elements of perpetuity and continuation in it. You may recall that I said in the October Paper that, in order to define where we stand and where we are heading, we have to have a quick pause at an important question that is, how to look at the past, and how to look at the future. I then went on to say that the history of na tions which are progressing is a linked and not an interrupted history, and that nations which disregard their past and the struggle of their past generations, do not deserve their legacy. Such na tions, furthermore, lose much of the fruit of their accomplishments. They also deprive the rising gen erations from having sufficient incentives to forge ahead and assume new responsibilities. 4
