0:13 My name is Mahamadou Diakite I'm from Mali and I work for AECOM on the 0:20 Mali Transition Initiative program that is financed by USAID. 0:28 The country in 2012 fell into a big crisis of the mix of rebellion, military coup, jihadist 0:37 invasion, which created a lot of division within the local population. 0:43 Before the coup, Mali was seen as the example of West Africa. We were seen as a young democracy 0:49 when everything was going perfectly. The new challenge is how to bring the country to the 0:55 previous state it was before. As a young person my hope is to first fulfill 1:03 my responsibility not to only be that person who complains about things and not do anything 1:09 about it. I first give myself that challenge. Instead of complaining about what other people 1:16 do, first have that reflection on yourself. Am I making the changes, the right changes 1:24 sometime they say, you are the changes you want to see in life. That is my first hope. 1:31 The second is I hope to bring the right changes that Mali needs. How are we making people's 1:40 lives better?
