Preservation of the states is one of the human rights, Sisi.

The Egyptian people absorbed the lesson. Egyptians bore the recent economic reforms which are the toughest in the country's modern history, although they used to move because of much simpler unfavorable matters, Sisi.

16:44

Developed countries will not build countries that collapsed and got destroyed due to internal conflicts, Sisi.

16:40

European and some of the African youth may not be understanding the situation in the region so they would think I am telling our peoples not to try to make change. I am just saying that youth mobilization may and usually goes out of control, Sisi.

16:39

"I am warning you against national suicide," Sisi.

16:37

The human and financial costs assumed by the countries that fell into chaos are higher than those that would result from the former status quo, Sisi.

16:20

Dialogue is the most difficult conflict. In conflict, you are upset with your enemy. In dialogue, you are upset with yourself. In a dialogue, you must admit the legitimacy of your rivals' differences and attempt to prove them wrong through words, Salame.

16:16

In many of our countries, youth are never asked what they want, Raffoul.

When a constitution is promulgated and political solutions are reached in Syria, reconstruction measures will start automatically, de Mistura.

16:07

We are currently trying to rebuild the Libyan state to be the only legitimate entity which is a very difficult mission, Salame.

16:06

In case of Libya, the conflict is over resources rather than ideologies. The other issue is that the country has become a hub for smugglers, Salame.

16:03

Conflicts in poor countries are different than in rich countries. In the former, internal forces are driven by foreign funds. In the latter, foreign players cannot always co-opt the internal ones, Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Ghassan Salame.
