".
In its relations with the countries of the international community, and in particular with African countries, Europe must, once and for all, accept that, without democratisation, and all that that entails, all attempts at cooperation and aid will at best be unproductive and at worst counterproductive. In the case of Ethiopia, where the legitimate expectations of a population that has endured ten years of suffering were recently dashed, it is our duty to do all we can to make the road to democracy a viable one. Africa must not be a territory in which illegitimate governments are accepted as though this were an inevitability. In this context, the message that this resolution sends out to Ethiopia should be clearly understood.
Lastly, let us take action, first and foremost, in the name of our principles and our populations. Let us also be clear, however, that we do so in the name of our own interests as well. Africa must not be a continent from which the have-nots understandably want to escape."@en1
