Description[?]:
| People of al-Jawhariyah, Your Jaziri brothers from across the strait have arrived to restore order, peace, and freedom to the Majatran Republic of Badara. For too long has Badara been plagued by religious extremism, tyranny, and communism, and now is the time for brothers to stand united under God. The Katā’ib is here not for conquest or plunder, we are not here to colonize Badara or spread Hosianism. The Katā’ib is here to finally put an end to the lawlessness and tyranny that you have had to endure for more than one hundred years, so that Badara can once again stand as one free and united nation. The Katā’ib guarantees that the religious rights of Ahmadis shall be fully protected, that the Majatran language and culture shall suffer no restriction, that minorities shall receive the fullest protection, and that no property shall be unlawfully violated. The statism of the Communist insurgents shall be brought to an end, as shall the un-Ahmadi activities of so-called Ahmadists and other religious radicals. God is our witness that the Katā’ib will do nothing but defend the rights and freedoms of all Badarans. Gen Ḣanno Guemamdia Commander of the Jaziri Brigade for the Liberation of Badara |
