But over the past few months I have not only witnessed that desire (for change), I have witnessed consecutive incidents, all over the world, that should shame anyone who desires soccer to be free, clean and democratic.

...

That would be normal, but this electoral process is anything but an election.

This (election) process is a plebiscite for the delivery of absolute power to one man - something I refuse to go along with.

...

For my part, I will abide by the ideas I leave written and have circulated, I am firm in my desire to take an active part in the regeneration of FIFA and I will be available for it whenever it is proven to me that we are not living under a dictatorship.

Too bad all of CAF has already said they will be voting en masse for Blatter. That is fifty four votes. Half of what he needs to win. No one stands a chance of unseating him.

Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean block like that largesse from Uncle Sepp.

Maybe we can convince Sepp Blatter to draw a cartoon of Muhammad.
