This is one of the hardest things for me.’

And now the time has come, and our mission is to bring the northerners home. We are ready, we are coming strong, I really see it as a historical right, with God’s help, something that will affect future generations, and also my nephews that they won’t have to deal with these things. I know and am aware of the magnitude of the responsibility that rests on my shoulders and the responsibility of the fighters under me. No one is prouder than me to be part of the family and to lead forward towards the fulfillment of the tasks. This is also a good opportunity to wish you a happy new year, may a year and its curses end and a good year and its blessings come upon us. I love you very very very much, you are always with me in my heart, and that’s it – until victory.’
