"If you want political office and political legitimacy from the people, start by accepting the people as your equals. Don’t patronize them. They know better than you. Understand them, accept their views, and help them shape their own future. Do not try to shape the future for them. But leadership cannot be learned through theory alone. You must be in the thick of things and practice it.”
On Nomadic pastoralists
- “That’s a romantic western idea but if there are people who want to live like that that is their right. If you force them to settle, you will not succeed.”
