In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dhoul-Hijjah al-Haram 16,1402 AH
His Excellency Ahmad Sekotoureh, President of the peoples and revolutionary republic of Guinea,
Received with your congratulatory message on the auspicious Feast of al-Qurban for which I thank you. Reciprocally, I congratulate Your Excellency and the brotherly and Muslim state of Guinea for this auspicious feast. I pray to the Almighty God to liberate the Muslims from these disputes and discord that is the cause of their incompetence and egotism or rather ostentation of several of their leaders.
The result of this ostentation and egotism is the tragedy of Lebanon and the massacre of thousands of Muslims and dishonoring of hundreds of women and girls at the hands of the Zionist killers and the bloodthirsty American plunderers and their Israeli mercenaries. Yet another consequence is the aggression of Iraq against the Muslim state of Iran and the destruction of hundreds of cities and villages and the displacement of millions of human beings at the hands of the cruel and infidel Ba`athists of Iraq in Iran which Your Excellency has himself witnessed.
And that which is most unfortunate is that after a lapse of two years from this barbaric aggression, now that our combatants have pushed back the enemy and demand the punishment of the aggressor and compensation of war reparations, the cry of peace of these ostentatious stooges is being heard from all directions. They are planning to acquit the aggressor and lay to waste the blood of thousands of Muslims who lost their lives for the defense of Islam and the Islamic homeland. We have repeatedly announced that we wish to end the war and seek peace on condition that the aggressor is punished and war reparations are paid and so many innocent human beings that were rendered homeless are returned to their cities and homes.
"We take our grievances to the court of God; and our shelter during hardships and sufferings is Him alone." May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
