Eu, personal, am fost observator în timpul alegerilor, şi am fost cu toţii mulţumiţi, deoarece, după o pauză de 40 de ani, au avut loc alegeri democratice în această ţară mare şi importantă. Cu toate acestea, optimismul nostru s-a dovedit a fi prematur.
I, myself, was an observer during the elections, and we were all pleased because, after a gap of 40 years, democratic elections were taking place in that large and important country. However, our optimism has turned out to be premature.
