Congratulations for the Arab people in all its land from the

Arab Gulf to the Pacific Ocean

The Arab people toppled the tyrants and hirelings

This popular pan Arab people’s cooperation with the uprising and demand for a revolutionary democracy is nothing but a proof on the unity of the Arab nations. The tyrant exploits the ambitions and fortunes of the Arab nation and hinder its unity…The Arab people’s fortunes they stole and lives they wasted can never be indemnified,

but the important thing is that the thieves and traitors are gone forever.

This time liberation is being done by the people themselves and not by others who may

steal it in the future.

A million congratulations for the Arab Nation for its accomplishment

of the this great dream Adib Kawar
