Niger is not an isolated island of desperation. It lies within a sea of problems across Africa - particularly the 'forgotten emergencies' in poor countries or regions with little strategic or material appeal.
From Desmond Tutu
Exclusion is never the way forward on our shared paths to freedom and justice.
We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
In many ways, when you're a Nobel peace laureate, you have an obligation to humankind, to society.
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
If you want peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
I've never doubted that apartheid - because it was of itself fundamentally, intrinsically evil - was going to bite the dust eventually.
In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.
