A statement to our resisting people' sons and daughters on the seventy first birth anniversary of the modern martyrs' masters Leader Saddam Hussein, may the Lord have mercy upon his blessed soul.
Our Resisting people' sons and daughters!
We celebrate today the seventy first birth anniversary of the great al Hajj martyr, leader Mujahid Saddam Hussein, may the Lord have mercy upon his blessed soul, for he was born in this day in 1937 while the Arab nation was enduring her renaissance' labor with the birth of the Baath thought, made evident through the works and the writings of the Comrade leader founder Ahmad Michel Aflak, may the Lord have mercy upon him, since 1933 and until the official announcement of the Party's birth, in its first founding Congress on seventh of April 1947.
The birthday of the Mujahid, resting in the Lord's eternal peace, Saddam Hussein timed with the birth of the Party' ideology, organization and future, when he was strong and a youth filled with life as the Baath is, accompanied his joining very early the Party, end of 1956 and participating in the demonstrations which covered Baghdad denouncing the tripartite aggression against Egypt.
Martyr Saddam Hussein started his Jihad actions very early too when he confronted heroically the despot dictator Abdel Kareem Qassim who usurped the 14th July 1958 revolution and deviated it from its patriotic and national true objectives. Martyr Saddam Hussein was able to get out to Syria and to Egypt while a death sentence was declared in his absence from this very dictatorial authority against him and against a pleiad of the Baath Mujahideen. He went on with his national struggle in Egypt until the start of the eighth of February 1963 revolution and joined its ranks as a militant, and a persevering Baathist confronting its errors through criticism and analysis in the Iraq fifth and the sixth 1963 Party Congresses and then confronting in a rare heroism the eighteenth of February 1963 treason. He was imprisoned for almost two years and was able to free himself and actively participate in the Party leadership and struggle until the start of the seventieth- thirtieth of July 1968 revolution , the Revolution of the Baath in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein's leading role in the revolution and its gigantic achievements, its resolved confrontation against the Iranian aggression, the thirty countries savage aggression, the blockade and the last bloodthirsty aggression which led to the ferocious Occupation of Iraq, which he prepared to confront through an armed popular resistance earlier on he continued his struggle with his comrades and the sons and daughters of his people until when the bloodthirsty savage US occupiers were able to detain him on the thirteenth of December 2003, bringing him to kangaroo vain trials, where he stood the stand of the lions defying the Occupation and the Occupiers and their false justice. He dragged them to justice for he exposed the real causes of the US, Brit, Zionist occupation and aggression and their perfidious objectives. He exposed also the traitors, the Occupation' puppets and their dual puppetry to the US and to Iran.. forcing the Occupiers and their puppet to unjustly sentence him to death and they murdered him on the dawn of the blessed al Adha feast on thirtieth of December 2006.
Our Mujahid people' sons and daughters!
Freedom loving Arabs, Muslims and peoples of the world!
The US and Iranian colonialists' tools have executed the crime to murder martyr Saddam Hussein, the great al Hajj martyr expressing their puss filled blood hatred against the Arab nation and its sons and daughters and its honorable symbols through a sectarian, puppet, and cheap hideous way. The Jihadi response was the heroic and dignified stand of the hero who mocked their gallows and defied his jailers and frightened them... These cowards who trembled not believing their eyes that they were murdering the hero Saddam Hussein who proclaimed with his full voice heralding "long live Palestine, Arab and free.." and "long live great Iraq!" and pronounced with a deep faith and a strong believe both Shahadas, that the traitors ferocious jailers wanted to deny him but he did proclaim them with God's help and might.. His martyrdom' day is a treasure of meanings expressing the faith in God, in the principles, in the homeland, in the people and in the nation! It is adorned with heroism, Jihad and redemption and the noble values marvels incarnated in this Arab poet verse:
He was in the highest in his life and he stayed in the highest in his death
Yes! Indeed! Saddam never died but he rose to the martyrdom' heaven as a shining star scintillating and lighting the sacrifice, the resistance and Jihad's paths towards the new Arab renaissance under which martyr hero Saddam Hussein struggled and lead combat..
May his dignified seventy first anniversary glow with the birth of a star in the martyrdom heaven lighting up the light for redeemers and saviors who adorn with their pure blood, and nourishes Iraq evident triumph, its strong and shining and happy future the day of the Arab civilization new renaissance day!
May martyr Saddam Hussein and his innocent companions' remain in the Eden of eternal delights as the symbol for the supreme Arabity principles and its eternal mission, for a legendary sacrifice for the nation and the people!
