“Every day, I make a decision where I am more useful for our cause. That’s why I stayed in hiding for over 16 months. And that’s why I decided to go out. Because I believed that, at this moment, I am more useful to our cause being able to speak out from where I am right now. But I’m planning to go as soon as possible back home.” “Oh, I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country. She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect.”
