In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Ahmad Sokoroto (?), President of Guinea,

I received your Excellency's message of condolence on the martyrdom of the beloved president and prime minister of our country. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. It is hoped that these dirty plots will reveal the true nature of the enemies of Islam, especially the world-devouring America that spare no effort achieve their wicked and satanic goals and reveal them for all Muslims so that they do not fall for their deceptive propaganda and are not like puppets in the hands of those criminals who transgress on the lands of others, especially the followers of the life-giving school of Islam. Meanwhile, these heinous crimes and their like which are committed by the agents of America in every and cranny in our country has turned out to be a mouthpiece for the innocence of our nation and a conclusive response to the accusations leveled against us, which have gone so far as accusing us of buying weapons from and having ties with the occupying Israel.

May God's peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
