How Africa can keep rising | Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Translator: Fanny Skriver Reviewer: Anders Finn Jørgensen

The narrative of a rising Africa is being challenged.

Fortællingen om et voksende Afrika er udfordret.

About 10 years ago, I spoke about an Africa,

For omkring ti år siden snakkede jeg om et Afrika,

an Africa of hope and opportunity,

et Afrika af håb og muligheder,

an Africa of entrepreneurs,

et Afrika af entreprenører,

an Africa very different from the Africa that you normally hear about

et Afrika meget anderledes end det Afrika, som man normalt hører om,

of death, poverty and disease.

af død, fattigdom og sygdom.

And that what I spoke about,

Og det, som jeg snakkede om,

became part of what is known now as the narrative of the rising Africa.

blev en del af, hvad der nu er kendt som fortællingen om et voksende Afrika.

I want to tell you two stories about this rising Africa.

Jeg vil fortælle jer to historier om dette voksende Afrika.

The first has to do with Rwanda,

Den første har at gøre med Rwanda,

a country that has gone through many trials and tribulations.

et land, som har gennemgået mange prøver og trængsler.

And Rwanda has decided to become the technology hub, or a technology hub

Rwanda har besluttet sig for at blive

et teknologicentrum på kontinentet.

on the continent.

It's a country with mountainous and hilly terrain,

Det er et bjergrigt land med et kuperet terræn,

a little bit like here,

lidt ligesom her,

so it's very difficult to deliver services to people.

så det er svært at levere tjenesteydelser til folk.

So what has Rwanda said?

Så hvad har Rwanda sagt?

In order to save lives, it's going to try using drones

For at redde liv, vil man bruge droner

to deliver lifesaving drugs, vaccines and blood

til at levere livsvigtig medicin, vacciner og blod

to people in hard-to-reach places

til folk i ufremkommelige områder

i samarbejde med et firma, der hedder Zipline,

in partnership with a company called Zipline,

with UPS, and also with the Gavi, a global vaccine alliance.

med UPS og med Gavi, en global vaccine alliance.

In doing this, it will save lives.

Ved at gøre dette, vil man redde liv.

This is part of the type of innovation we want to see in the rising Africa.

Dette er en form for innovation, vi gerne vil se i det voksende Afrika.

The second story has to do with something

Den anden historie har at gøre med noget,

that I'm sure most of you have seen or will remember.

som jeg er sikker på, at de fleste af jer har set eller kan huske.

Very often, countries in Africa suffer drought and floods,

Ofte lider lande i Afrika af tørke og oversvømmelse,

and it's getting more frequent because of climate change effects.

og det sker mere hyppigt på grund af klimaændringer.

When this happens, they normally wait for international appeals to raise money.

Når dette sker, venter de normalt på, at internationale appeller skaffer penge.

You see pictures of children with flies on their faces,

Man ser billeder af børn med fluer i deres ansigter,

carcasses of dead animals and so on.

rådnende kroppe af døde dyr og så videre.

Now these countries, 32 countries, came together

Disse 32 lande gik i stedet for sammen

under the auspices of the African Union

under ledelse af den Den Afrikanske Union

and decided to form an organization called the African Risk Capacity.

og besluttede at danne en organisation, kaldet Den Afrikanske Risiko Kapacitet.

What does it do?

Hvad gør den?

It's a weather-based insurance agency,

Det er et vejrbaseret forsikringsselskab,

and what these countries do is to pay insurance each year,

og hvert år betaler disse lande forsikring,

about 3 million dollars a year of their own resources,

omkring 3 mio. dollars om året af deres egne ressourcer,

so that in the event they have a difficult drought situation or flood,

så i tilfælde af, at der er en tørkeperiode eller en oversvømmelse,

this money will be paid out to them,

vil der blive udbetalt penge til dem,

which they can then use to take care of their populations,

som de kan bruge til at tage sig af befolkningen,

instead of waiting for aid to come.

i stedet for at vente på, at der kommer hjælp.

Den Afrikanske Risiko Kapacitet udbetalte sidste år 26 mio. dollars

The African Risk Capacity last year paid 26 million dollars

to Mauritania, Senegal and Niger.

til Mauretanien, Senegal og Niger.

This enabled them to take care of 1.3 million people affected by drought.

Det gjorde, at de kunne tage sig af 1.3 mio. mennesker, der var udsat for tørke.

They were able to restore livelihoods,

De var i stand til at genoprette folks levebrød,

buy fodder for cattle, feed children in school

købe foder til kvæg, give skolebørn mad

and in short keep the populations home instead of migrating out of the area.

og på kort sigt holde befolkningen hjemme i stedet for at de migrerede ud af området.

So these are the kinds of stories

Så dette er historier

om et Afrika, der er klar til at tage ansvar for sig selv,

of an Africa ready to take responsibility for itself,

and to look for solutions for its own problems.

og til at lede efter løsninger til sine egne problemer.

But that narrative is being challenged now

Men den fortælling er udfordret i øjeblikket,

because the continent has not been doing well in the last two years.

fordi kontinentet ikke har klaret sig godt i de sidste to år.

It had been growing at five percent per annum

Det er vokset med fem procent om året

for the last one and a half decades,

gennem det sidste halvandet årti,

but this year's forecast was three percent. Why?

men dette års prognose var kun tre procent. Hvorfor?

In an uncertain global environment, commodity prices have fallen.

I et usikkert, globalt miljø er råvarepriserne faldet.

Many of the economies are still commodity driven,

Mange af økonomierne er stadig drevet af råvarer,

and therefore their performance has slipped.

og derfor er deres resultater faldet.

And now the issue of Brexit doesn't make it any easier.

Og nu gør spørgsmålet om Brexit det ikke meget lettere.

I never knew that the Brexit could happen

Jeg anede ikke, at Brexit kunne ske

and that it could be one of the things that would cause global uncertainty

og at det ville være noget, der skaber global usikkerhed,

such as we have.

sådan som vi har set.

So now we've got this situation,

Så nu står vi i en situation,

and I think it's time to take stock

og jeg synes, at det er på tide at gøre status,

and to say what were the things that the African countries did right?

og snakke om, hvad de afrikanske lande gjorde rigtigt?

What did they do wrong?

Hvad gjorde de forkert?

How do we build on all of this and learn lessons

Hvordan skal vi bygge videre på dette og lære lektien,

so that we can keep Africa rising?

så vi fortsat kan få Afrika til at vokse?

So let me talk about six things that I think we did right.

Jeg vil snakke om seks ting, som jeg synes, vi gjorde rigtigt.

The first is managing our economies better.

Den første er at administrere vores økonomi bedre.

The '80s and '90s were the lost decades, when Africa was not doing well,

80'erne og 90'erne var de fortabte årtier, da Afrika ikke klarede sig godt,

and some of you will remember an "Economist" cover

og nogen kan måske huske en "Economist" forside,

that said, "The Lost Continent."

som kaldte det "Det fortabte kontinent."

But in the 2000s, policymakers learned

Men i 00'erne lærte politikerne,

that they needed to manage the macroeconomic environment better,

at de skulle administrere det makroøkonomiske miljø bedre,

to ensure stability,

for at sikre stabilitet,

keep inflation low in single digits,

holde inflationen nede på et enkelt ciffer,

keep their fiscal deficits low, below three percent of GDP,

holde det offentlige budgetunderskud lavt, under tre procent af BNP,

give investors, both domestic and foreign,

give investorer - både indenlandske og udenlandske -

some stability so they'll have confidence to invest in these economies.

en stabilitet, så de ville have tillid til at investere i disse økonomier.

So that was number one.

Det var nummer et.

Two, debt.

To, gæld.

In 1994, the debt-to-GDP ratio of African countries was 130 percent,

I 1994 var gælden i forhold til BNP på 130 procent i afrikanske lande,

and they didn't have fiscal space.

og de havde ikke noget økonomisk råderum.

They couldn't use their resources to invest in their development

De kunne ikke bruge deres ressourcer til at investere i udvikling,

because they were paying debt.

fordi de skulle betale deres gæld.

There may be some of you in this room who worked to support African countries

Der er måske nogen her i rummet, som arbejdede på at støtte afrikanske lande

to get debt relief.

i at få gældssanering.

So private creditors, multilaterals and bilaterals came together

Private kreditorer, multilaterale og bilaterale gik sammen

and decided to do the Highly Indebted Poor Countries Initiative

og besluttede at danne De Forgældede Fattige Landes initiativ

and give debt relief.

og give gældssanering.

So this debt relief in 2005

Denne gældssanering i 2005

made the debt-to-GDP ratio fall down to about 30 percent,

gjorde at gælden i forhold til BNP faldt til omkring 30 procent,

and there was enough resources to try and reinvest.

og der var nok ressourcer til at geninvestere.

The third thing was loss-making enterprises.

Den tredje ting var tabsgivende virksomheder.

Governments were involved in business

Regeringer blandede sig i sager,

which they had no business being in.

som de ikke skulle blande sig i.

And they were running businesses, they were making losses.

De styrede virksomheder, der skabte store tab.

So some of these enterprises were restructured,

Så nogen af disse virksomheder blev omstruktureret,

commercialized, privatized or closed,

markedsført, privatiseret eller lukket,

and they became less of a burden on government.

og de blev en mindre byrde for regeringen.

The fourth thing was a very interesting thing.

Den fjerde ting var meget interessant.

The telecoms revolution came,

Revolutionen inden for telekommunikation kom

and African countries jumped on it.

og afrikanske lande var med i den.

In 2000, we had 11 million phone lines.

I 2000 havde vi elleve millioner telefonlinjer.

Today, we have about 687 million mobile lines on the continent.

I dag har vi omkring 687 millioner telefonlinjer på kontinentet.

And this has enabled us

Dette har gjort det muligt for os

to go, move forward with some mobile technology

at komme frem med mobilteknologi,

where Africa is actually leading.

hvor Afrika faktisk er førende.

In Kenya, the development of mobile money --

I Kenya blev mobilpenge udviklet --

M-Pesa, which all of you have heard about --

-- M-Pesa, som i alle har hørt om --

it took some time for the world to notice that Africa was ahead

Det tog lidt tid for resten af verden at opdage, at Afrika var foran

in this particular technology.

indenfor denne form for teknologi.

And this mobile money is also providing a platform

Denne form for mobilpenge skaber også en platform,

for access to alternative energy.

der er en adgang til alternativ energi.

You know, people who can now pay for solar

Folk kan nu betale for solenergi

the same way they pay for cards for their telephone.

på samme måde, som når de betaler for deres telefon.

So this was a very good development, something that went right.

Så det var en virkelig god udvikling, noget der gik godt.

We also invested more in education and health, not enough,

Vi investerede også mere i uddannelse og sundhed, ikke nok,

but there were some improvements.

men der var nogen forbedringer.

250 million children were immunized in the last one and a half decades.

250 millioner børn blev vaccineret gennem det sidste halvandet årti.

The other thing was that conflicts decreased.

En anden ting var, at der var færre konflikter.

There were many conflicts on the continent.

Der var mange konflikter på kontinentet.

Many of you are aware of that.

Mange af jer er klar over det.

But they came down, and our leaders even managed to dampen some coups.

Men de blev stoppet, og det lykkedes endda vores ledere at få stoppet nogen kup.

New types of conflicts have emerged, and I'll refer to those later.

Nye typer af konflikter er opstået, dem vil jeg snakke om senere.

So based on all this, there's also some differentiation on the continent

Så på baggrund af alt dette, er der altså stadig nogen forskelle,

that I want you to know about,

som jeg synes, i skal kende,

because even as the doom and gloom is here,

fordi selvom det virker dystert og dommedagsagtigt,

there are some countries -- Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Ethiopia,

så er der stadig lande -- Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Etiopien,

Tanzania and Senegal are performing relatively well at the moment.

Tanzania og Senegal, som klarer sig relativt godt.

But what did we do wrong?

Men hvad gjorde vi forkert?

Let me mention eight things.

Jeg vil snakke om otte ting.

You have to have more things wrong than right.

Man skal have flere forkerte end rigtige ting.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So there are eight things we did wrong.

Der er altså otte ting, som vi gjorde forkert.

The first was that even though we grew, we didn't create enough jobs.

Det første er, at selvom vi voksede, skabte vi ikke nok jobs.

We didn't create jobs for our youth.

Vi skabte ikke job til ungdommen.

Youth unemployment on the continent is about 15 percent,

Arbejdsløshed blandt unge på kontinentet er omkring 15 procent,

and underemployment is a serious problem.

og underbeskæftigelse er et alvorligt problem.

The second thing that we did is that the quality of growth was not good enough.

Det andet var, at kvaliteten af vækst ikke var god nok.

Even those jobs we created were low-productivity jobs,

Selv de job, som vi skabte, var lavproduktivitetsjob,

so we moved people from low-productivity agriculture

så vi flyttede folk fra lavproduktivitetsjob i landbrug

to low-productivity commerce and working in the informal sector

til lavproduktivitets- handel og jobs i den uformelle sektor

in the urban areas.

i byområderne.

The third thing is that inequality increased.

Den tredje ting er, at uligheden voksede.

So we created more billionaires.

Så vi skabte flere milliardærer.

50 billionaires worth 96 billion dollars

50 milliardærer til en værdi af 96 milliarder dollars

own more wealth than the bottom 75 million people on the continent.

har en større formue end de fattigste 75 millioner mennesker.

Poverty,

Fattigdom,

the proportion of people in poverty -- that's the fourth thing -- did decrease,

andelen af mennesker i fattigdom -- det er den fjerde ting -- faldt,

but the absolute numbers did not because of population growth.

men det endelige antal gjorde ikke pga. befolkningsvækst.

And population growth is something

Og befolkningsvækst er noget,

that we don't have enough of a dialogue about on the continent.

som vi ikke snakker nok om på kontinentet.

And I think we will need to get a handle on it,

Og det er noget, vi bliver nødt til at få styr på,

particularly how we educate girls.

især hvordan vi uddanner piger.

That is the road to really working on this particular issue.

Det er vejen til at få løst dette problem.

The fifth thing is that we didn't invest enough in infrastructure.

Den femte ting er, at vi ikke investerede nok i infrastruktur.

We had investment from the Chinese.

Vi havde investeringer fra kineserne.

That helped some countries, but it's not enough.

Det hjalp nogen lande, men det er ikke nok.

The consumption of electricity in Africa on the continent

Forbruget af elektricitet på det afrikanske kontinent

in Sub-Saharan Africa is equivalent to Spain.

syd for Sahara svarer til det i Spanien.

The total consumption is equivalent to that of Spain.

Det totale forbrug svarer til det i Spanien.

So many people are living in the dark,

Så mange mennesker lever i mørke,

and as the President of the African Development Bank said recently,

og som formanden for Den Afrikanske Udviklings Bank sagde,

Africa cannot develop in the dark.

Afrika kan ikke udvikle sig i mørke.

The other thing we have not done

En anden ting vi ikke har fået gjort,

is that our economies retain the same structure

er at vores økonomi har den samme struktur,

that we've had for decades.

som den har haft i årtier.

So even though we've been growing,

Så selvom vi er vokset,

har vores økonomiske struktur ikke ændret sig særlig meget.

the structure of the economies has not changed very much.

We are still exporting commodities,

Vi eksporterer stadig handelsvarer,

and exporting commodities is what? It's exporting jobs.

og hvad betyder det? At vi eksporterer jobs.

Our manufacturing value-added is only 11 percent.

Værditilvæksten i vores produktion er kun 11 procent.

We are not creating enough decent manufacturing jobs for our youth,

Vi skaber ikke nok anstændige jobs inden for produktion til vores ungdom,

and trade among ourselves is low.

og handlen blandt os selv er lav.

Only about 12 percent of our trade is among ourselves.

Kun omkring 12 procent af vores handel er blandt os selv.

So that's another serious problem.

Det er et andet alvorligt problem.

Then governance.

Så er der regeringsførelsen.

Governance is a serious issue.

Det er et alvorligt emne.

We have weak institutions,

Vi har svage institutioner,

and sometimes nonexistent institutions, and I think this gives way for corruption.

nogen gange ikke-eksisterende, og jeg tror, at det fører til korruption.

Corruption is an issue that we have not yet gotten a good enough handle on,

Korruption er noget, som vi ikke endnu har fået ordentligt styr på,

and we have to fight tooth and nail,

og vi må kæmpe med næb og kløer

that and increased transparency in the way we manage our economies

og med større gennemsigtighed i den måde vi styrer vores økonomi på

and the way we manage our finances.

og den måde vi styrer vores offentlige budget på.

We also need to be wary of new conflicts,

Vi må også være på vagt overfor nye konflikter,

new types of conflicts,

nye typer af konflikter,

such as we have with Boko Haram in my country, Nigeria,

sådan som vi har været med Boko Haram i mit land, Nigeria,

and with Al-Shabaab in Kenya.

og med Al-Shabaab i Kenya.

We need to partner with international partners,

Vi bliver nødt til at samarbejde med internationale partnere,

developed countries, to fight this together.

udviklede lande, for at bekæmpe dette sammen.

Otherwise, we create a new reality

Ellers skaber vi en ny virkelighed,

som ikke er af den slags, vi ønsker for et voksende Afrika.

which is not the type we want for a rising Africa.

And finally, the issue of education.

Og endelig, spørgsmålet om uddannelse.

Our education systems in many countries are broken.

Vores uddannelsessystem i mange lande er ødelagt.

We are not creating the types of skills needed for the future.

Vi skaber ikke de færdigheder, der er brug for i fremtiden.

So we have to find a way to educate better.

Så vi må finde en måde at gøre uddannelse bedre på.

So those are the things that we are not doing right.

Det er altså de ting, vi ikke gør rigtigt.

Now, where do we go from there?

Hvor fortsætter vi herfra?

I believe that the way forward is to learn to manage success.

Jeg tror på, at vejen frem er at lære at lede succes.

Very often, when people succeed or countries succeed,

Når mennesker eller lande har succes,

they forget what made them succeed.

glemmer de ofte, hvad der gjorde dem succesfulde.

Learning what you're successful at,

At lære hvad du er succesfuld i,

managing it and keeping it is vital for us.

at styre det og beholde det er afgørende for os.

So all those things I said we did right,

Alle de ting, jeg sagde, vi gjorde rigtigt,

we have to learn to do it right again, keep doing it right.

skal vi lære at gøre rigtigt igen og blive ved med det.

Managing the economy while creating stability is vital,

At styre økonomien og at skabe stabilitet er afgørende,

getting prices right, and policy consistency.

at få de rigtige priser og sammenhængende politik.

Very often, we are not consistent.

Ofte er der ikke sammenhæng.

One regime goes out, another comes in

Ét regime kommer ud, et andet kommer ind,

and they throw away even the functioning policies that were there before.

og de smider selv den fungerende orden ud, der var der før.

What does this do?

Hvad gør dette?

It creates uncertainty for people, for households,

Det skaber usikkerhed for mennesker, husstande,

uncertainties for business.

usikkerhed for virksomheder.

They don't know whether and how to invest.

De ved ikke om, og hvordan de skal investere.

Debt: we must manage the success we had in reducing our debt,

Gæld: vi skal styre den succes, vi havde i at reducere vores gæld,

but now countries are back to borrowing again,

men nu er flere lande gået tilbage til at låne igen,

and we see our debt-to-GDP ratio beginning to creep up,

og vi ser, at gælden i forhold til BNP er begyndt at stige,

and in certain countries,

og i visse lande

debt is becoming a problem, so we have to avoid that.

er gæld ved at blive et problem, så det bliver vi nødt til at undgå.

So managing success.

At styre succes.

The next thing is focusing with a laser beam

Den næste ting er at fokusere specifikt

on those things we did not do well.

på de ting, vi ikke gjorde godt.

First and foremost is infrastructure.

Først og fremmest infrastruktur.

Yes, most countries now recognize they have to invest in this,

De fleste lande anerkender nu, at de må investere i dette,

and they are trying to do the best they can to do that.

og de prøver at gøre det bedste, de kan.

We must.

Vi skal.

The most important thing is power.

Det vigtigste er elektricitet.

You cannot develop in the dark.

Man kan ikke udvikle sig i mørke.

And then governance and corruption:

Og så regeringsførelse og korruption:

we have to fight.

vi må kæmpe.

We have to make our countries transparent.

Vi bliver nødt til at gøre vores lande gennemsigtige.

And above all, we have to engage our young people.

Og vi bliver især nødt til at engagere unge mennesker.

We have genius in our young people.

Vi har genialitet i unge mennesker.

I see it every day.

Jeg ser det hver dag.

It's what makes me wake up in the morning and feel ready to go.

Det er det, som får mig op om morgenen og klar.

We have to unleash the genius of our young people,

Vi bliver nødt til at slippe genialiteten løs i unge mennesker,

get out of their way, support them to create and innovate

ikke stå i vejen for dem, støtte dem til at skabe og innovere

and lead the way.

og føre vejen frem.

And I know that they will lead us in the right direction.

Og jeg ved, at de vil lede os i den rigtige retning.

And our women, and our girls:

Og vores kvinder og piger:

we have to recognize that girls and women are a gift.

vi bliver nødt til at anerkende, at piger og kvinder er en gave.

They have strength,

De har styrke,

and we have to unleash that strength

og vi må slippe den styrke fri,

so that they can contribute to the continent.

så de kan bidrage til kontinentet.

I strongly believe that when we do all of these things,

Jeg tror meget stærkt på, at når vi gør alle disse ting,

we find that the rising Africa narrative

kan vi se, at fortællingen om et voksende Afrika

is not a fluke.

ikke blot er et lykketræf.

It's a trend.

Det er en udvikling.

It's a trend, and if we continue, if we unleash our youth,

Det er en udvikling, og hvis vi fortsætter og slipper vores ungdom løs,

if we unleash our women,

hvis vi slipper kvinderne løs,

we may step backwards sometimes,

går vi måske nogen gange et skridt tilbage

we may even step sideways,

vi træder måske endda et skridt til siden,

but the trend is clear.

men udviklingen er tydelig.

Africa will continue to rise.

Afrika vil fortsætte med at vokse.

And I tell you businesspeople in the audience,

Og jeg siger til de forretningsfolk i mængden,

investment in Africa is not for today, is not for tomorrow,

at investering i Afrika ikke bare er for i dag eller i morgen,

it's not a short-term thing, it's a longer term thing.

det er ikke en kortsigtet ting, det er en langsigtet ting.

But if you are not invested in Africa,

Men hvis du ikke investerer i Afrika,

then you will be missing

så går du glip af

one of the most important emerging opportunities in the world.

en af de vigtigste og mest fremspirende muligheder i verden.

Thank you.

Tak.

(Applause)

Kelly Stoetzel: So you mentioned corruption in your talk,

Kelly Stoetzel: Du nævnte korruption i din tale,

and you're known, well-known as a strong anticorruption fighter.

og du er kendt som en stærk antikorruptions-kæmper.

But that's had consequences.

Men det har haft konsekvenser.

People have fought back, and your mother was kidnapped.

Folk har kæmpet tilbage, og din mor blev kidnappet.

How have you been handling this?

Hvordan har du håndteret dette?

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala: It's been very difficult.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala: Det har været svært.

Tak fordi du nævner kidnapningen af min mor.

Thank you for mentioning the issue of the kidnap of my mother.

It's a very difficult subject.

Det er et meget vanskeligt emne.

But what it means is that when you fight corruption,

Men det betyder, at når du bekæmper korruption,

when you touch the pockets of people who are stealing money,

når du rører ved lommerne på dem, som stjæler penge,

they don't just keep quiet.

vil de ikke bare være stille.

They fight back, and the issue for you is when they try to intimidate you,

De kæmper imod, og problemet er, at når de prøver at skræmme dig,

do you give up, or do you fight on?

giver du så op, eller kæmper du videre?

Do you find a way to stay on and fight back?

Finder du en måde at blive ved med at kæmpe på?

And the answer that I had with the teams I worked with

Og svaret jeg kom frem til, sammen med det team, jeg arbejdede med,

is we have to fight on.

er, at vi må kæmpe videre.

We have to create those institutions.

Vi må skabe de institutioner.

We have to find ways to stop these people

Vi må finde måder at stoppe de mennesker

from taking away the heritage of the future.

i at stjæle fremtidens arv.

And so that's what we did.

Så det er, hvad vi gjorde.

And even out of government, we continued to make that point.

Og selv ude af regeringen, fortsatte vi med at kæmpe.

In our countries, nobody, nobody is going to fight corruption

I vores lande, vil ingen bekæmpe korruption

for us but us.

for os udover os selv.

And therefore, that comes with consequences,

Og det kommer med konsekvenser,

and we just have to do the best we can.

og vi må bare gøre det bedste, vi kan.

But I thank you and thank TED for giving us a voice

Men jeg vil takke jer og TED for at give os en stemme

to say to those people, you will not win,

til at fortælle de mennesker, at de ikke vil vinde,

and we will not be intimidated.

og vi vil ikke blive skræmte.

Thank you.

Tak.

(Applause)

Kelly Stoetzel: Mange tak for din fantastiske tale og vigtige arbejde.
