[Extract]

Peace is indissolubly interwoven with the question of freedom, for peace without freedom is a mockery… Freedom cannot flower to its best except in a climate of peace. For oppressed people such as we are, it would be futile and unrealistic to speak of peace outside the context of the struggle for freedom.
