We must take ourselves more seriously and value what we do, even the minutia action and document. There’s no other time in history then now when archival creation is available to us all. All of us can contribute to the archive. We do not have to wait for the great archival institutions of the past which are usually controlled and organised by government institutions or some royal court record keepers. The time is now!

Reconciliation at all levels is the need of the hour in our country. The past is forgiven and forgotten. What is important is the future.

It is necessary to open the archives. It is necessary to confront everything, from both the light and dark sides. We need to promote freedom of research and not fear the truth.

The era of procrastination is coming to a close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences,

The time has passed for dilly-dallying. We must demand satisfactory performance.

The urgency of now is yesterday.

We have to act with fierce urgency. Justice demands it.

It is not enough, citizens, to have destroyed the factions, it is necessary now to repair the evil that they have done to the country.

So, we have to stop thinking of the archive merely as that which is past, we have to think of it simultaneously as past, present and future. We have to think of the archive as a curation of knowledge, experience and worlds in the now, to help order a past for the purpose of the future. We have to understand that the archive and its curation is always caught up in regimes of power and control.

In the next AWW, we must step up our game and make sure that all the resolutions taken here are implemented. The time for talking is over

We are now confronted with the necessity of remedying the remedies.

The objective now is not to renegotiate our dreams, but to emphasize the accountability of all actors through detailed discussions of goals, targets, achievements and failures. We are no longer seeking promises, but are demanding action.

There is no time for grief and remorse. We have a mission.

I think the time for blind trust is long over. Now I need answers.
