In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Shadhli Bin Jadid, President of Algeria,
I received the congratulatory message of His Excellency on the fourth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran for which I thank you. Unfortunately many of the reactionary leaders of the region who regard themselves as the rulers of Muslims, instead of supporting this genuine Revolution that is the protector of Islam and reviver of the lost glory of Muslims, have all risen in conspiracy against us. They do not withhold every kind of material and military assistance to our enemies and make every effort towards our isolation. A case in point is their unconditional assistances to the Ba`ath Party of Iraq and to the criminal Saddam. More unfortunate is that despite these assistances some are also assisting in the continuation of the war and bloodshed by remaining indifferent, talk of peace and halting the war while they are fully aware of the aggressor and the criminal, and are encouraging them. May God's peace be upon you.
