"I feel a great exhaustion: an exhaustion related to having to explain to interlocutors who change all the time. To explain that we are human and that we no longer want others than ourselves to decide of our destiny, that is to say of our life and death." - J-M Tjibaou (1987)
"Je ressens une grande fatigue : la fatigue d'expliquer à des interlocuteurs qui changent sans cesse. Expliquer que nous sommes des hommes et que ne nous voulons plus que d'autres que nous décident de notre destin, c'est-à-dire de notre vie et de notre mort." - J-M Tjibaou (1987)
Huge win for the Northern Mariana Islands - one of the world's biggest minnows - and their very young squad at the Pacific Games. Time they were given FIFA membership so they can compete in World Cup qualification!
