"It is difficult to find a way to express gratitude. Today we fraternize, while we are on the cusp of power. The freed prisoners and their families must remember that this war has made martyrs, some mothers only had that young man who died. Produced wounded that they still suffer, it has produced prisoners, some of whom are still in the prisons of injustice, and even with all this, here we are taking a step towards reconciliation and regrouping of the and his people. But we want our brothers who are being released today to denounce your minds and think among those who kill and imprison women and children, that you have to look back at what happened in Tarhouna. "

"Entire families have been decimated, children have been killed, some of them no older than 7 or 8 years. I congratulate every mother and father whose child has been returned to them, but I have tears of sadness in my eyes for those who lost their children and they are seeing a day like today. Barqa, that stolen part of our country where people have disappeared for saying a single word. We congratulate you, young people, on your liberation, and we ask God to take our country back to the right way, the way of construction ".
