"In addition to what His Majesty’s soldiers have committed
in torturing and maltreating the peaceful men and women
in the villages, these monstrous and barbaric acts, were not
even committed by the wild beasts in Central Africa. In
addition to this, the British Government had recently
prevented the Arab press from publishing anything related
to the soldier’s actions or any clashes between British
soldiers and Mujahideen. The clashes which consequences
were bad on the British soldiers. By doing so, the
Government is trying to keep the world ignorant of its
actions in the Holy Land, and to prevent the number of its
casualties becoming known. Therefore, with full trust in
God, and to let the truth be known, and to publish the truth
about the clashes in the northern region, we hereby
decided to publish this newspaper, to be the mouthpiece of
the heroic Mujahidin..."
The Communiques issued by the revolt were either stuck on the walls in
villages and towns, or distributed by hand. * Each leader had his own
secretariat body which issued and typed his communiques, “as well as
contacts with press houses to publish communiques and orders on a large
scale for distribution throughout the country.** The communications
between the commanders and the fasa’il leaders, or between the
different fasa’il, was only via messengers. Usually the commanders had
more than one messenger to deliver their messages to the heads of the
fasa’il or others with whom they were in contact. Messengers carried
letters or oral messages.”
"they used to send a message to me. For example he would
tell me that the leader wants to see me"™™
