«Your Excellency Mr. President,
I am deeply shocked by the cruel, inhuman and shameful assassination of our faithful Egyptian brothers in Burr-al-Abid, north Sinai. Unfortunately, the blood of our innocent fellow citizens was shed again, immersing into untold mourning the peace loving Egyptian people.
I express my deepest condolences, wholeheartedly support the national mourning, raising my hands in prayer, to the One True God, for the repose of all the innocent victims».
