0:30.0	I have one request from you and that request is silence. We don't need to use our
0:37.0	mouths, we just need to use our ears in Sharpa and at the same time every one of us is
0:44.0	struggling with this heat. I have decided to change my topic and my message to you to
0:51.0	make it short and to the point. So what I want to tell you is many times people make

2:30.8	that my brothers and sisters learn to communicate with one another. Learn to talk to one another.
2:37.6	No problem has been resolved through killing. No problem has been resolved through fighting.
2:44.4	No problem has been resolved through expressing hatred but rather through communicating,
2:51.0	understanding, through achieving justice. This is what the message holds and this is
