It is very humbling to follow a talk like that of Claudette Habesch who brings us really to what is happening on the ground. One feels very frivolous sitting in London making pontification about the situation when one hears what is happening on the ground. But that is exactly what I am going to do; I am going to be frivolous and pontificate because I think it is important to be able to look at things from different perspectives. When it comes to policy and its implementation, one must separate between the thinking process, the strategy behind what we do, the policy process, which is what politicians say and the actual implementation on the ground.
