You too can support this victory!
There is no way out and we are OK with that: it is always better to die standing than live on one's knees.
Every day we have martyrs.

We don't want to mention their names yet, the time will come to celebrate their lives, know only that they are still living, they are near Allah, and they know as we do that Victory is coming.
