On the day of Arafa, the Syrian Coalition said in a statement that “we ask God during these blessed days to relieve the Syrian people and end their suffering, and help us all serve our country in these difficult circumstances. We on this occasion extend our most sincere greetings to the Syrian people, hoping that God makes it a good omen by which we renew our faith in life, the right and freedom, and also hoping these blessed days bring an end to the bloodshed and achieve the aspirations of the Syrian people. Today we pay a tribute to the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, to the revolutionaries’ deeds, to the patience of the mothers, to the steadfastness of the detainees, and to the suffering of refugees and displaced persons. We renew our pledges to exert the maximum efforts in order to achieve victory and the aspirations of the Syrian people, and to remain committed to the principles and goals of the revolution.
