What kind of a nation we will be, what kind of a world we will live in, whether we shape the future in the image of our hopes, is ours to determine by our actions and our choices.
If we succeed, Tanzanians generations to come will say of us now living that we mastered our moment that we helped make the world safe for mankind.
It’s true that speeches don’t solve all problems, but what is also true is that if we can’t inspire our country to believe again, then it doesn’t matter how many policies and plans we have.
Don’t tell me words don’t matter AMANI, UMOJA AND UPENDO just words words. Mungu ibariki Tanzania, Mungu Ibariki Afrika just words words. Don’t tell me words don’t matter!
We can, to opportunity and prosperity. We can heal this nation. We can repair this world, We can do all things if we choose unity over division. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all
forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs
for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of
man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
Let me speak about an old woman Mama MARIA NYERERE who saw our independence declaration. She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were few
cars on the road or planes in the sky; When someone like her couldn't vote for one reason, because she was a woman.
And today, I think about all that she's seen throughout her quarter and half century in Tanzania the heartache and the hope, the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that Tanzania creed.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see
them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot: .
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation
conquer fear itself by fight IDDI AMIN DADA.
Tanzania, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So today, let us ask ourselves if our children should live to see the next century; if our kids should be so lucky to live as long as Mama MARIA NYERERE, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the Tanzanian dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that,out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
