- Mr. Ma?j?b is asked about the postponement of their elections. He answers that it is in part due to the weather. He takes the opportunity to clarify the political make-up of his newly independent country. He is asked about the difficulties inherent in a new country. He feels they did not, as they have been a democracy for a long time with strong local councils. He is asked about recent problems with former colonies. He argues for liberation of all countries under foreign power and tells how Sudan was able to become independent. He talks about other countries that have had problems.
