Notre terre, si copieusement irriguée du sang et des larmes de nos guerres fratricides, si douloureusement recouverte des cendres de nos tragiques génocides, mérite, je crois, des signes moins abstraits et plus forts de son humanité et de son unité.
This earth, which has been so copiously watered with the blood and tears of our fratricidal wars, so distressingly covered with the ashes of our tragic genocides, deserves, I believe, stronger and less abstract signs of its humanity and its unity.
