Press Release
Officially: The Authorities in Tunisia Support America and the Jewish Entity in the Genocide of Our People in Gaza and All of Palestine
(Translated)

The Italian city of Vicenza witnessed the signing ceremony of the final procedures protocol for planning the African Lion 2025 military exercises in Tunisia. The agreement was signed between Tunisian Senior Col. Mguidich Mejid and American Colonel Drew Conover, the Training Director for the U.S. Army Southern Europe Task Force.

It is worth noting that African Lion exercises are the largest joint training operations overseen by U.S. forces in Africa. This time, they will be hosted by Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, and Ghana, with the participation of 7,500 military personnel from 28 countries.

Regarding the importance and objectives of these exercises, American Major Jay Jackson, lead exercise planner, stated: "Planning with our Tunisian partners has been invaluable in ensuring that African Lion strengthens both our collective readiness and regional security…Through exercises like this, we can refine our operational strategies and enhance the cooperation that is crucial for addressing emerging threats across North Africa.”

The stated goal of these exercises, according to Major Jackson, is “ultimately to create the strongest multinational force," implying that the America seeks to secure the western region of the Islamic world by maintaining control over its armies to protect its interests and safeguard the Jewish entity's flank as it continues its killing and destruction, directing the region's armies to act according to its orders.

This is America's current goal: to control the armies of Muslims in North Africa and their leadership.

This confirms that:

The U.S. military exercises, “African Lion,” are designed to penetrate the western geography of Muslim lands and its desert coastline. These are practical field exercises aimed at providing American colonial soldiers with on-the-ground experience.

Even more troubling and reprehensible is enabling America to infiltrate the armies of Muslim nations, redirect the loyalty of their officers, and use them in service of America's colonial plans!

Worst of all, the criminal, murderous America—its planes, drones, missiles, and shells—are the very weapons being used to exterminate us!

At the very moment when the Tunisian colonel, under orders from the "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces," was signing an agreement with the American colonel, U.S. military leaders were on the other side overseeing the extermination of our people in Gaza and across Palestine, and destroying Lebanon through the Jewish gangs they fund with weapons and money.  If we consider that these exercises will take place after Donald Trump takes office and under the leadership of a new Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth—a declared crusader who has a Crusaders’ emblem (Jerusalem Cross) tattooed on his chest, alongside the phrase "God wills it," a slogan used by the Crusaders during their invasion of Jerusalem in the era of the Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate)—it becomes evident that our soldiers and officers have been unwittingly dragged into an American crusade against Jerusalem and the broader Muslim lands. 

O Muslims in the Land of the Olive Tree, O Officers, O Soldiers, O Descendants of Heroic Mujahideen:

Participating in these military exercises is direct involvement in the extermination of Muslims in Palestine and Lebanon. It enables the control of a Crusader infidel over the lands of Islam. Will you remain silent about pseudo-leaders who hand over your forces to your enemy in times of war?!

How can you accept your forces being placed under the control of your enemy and its leadership? How can you tolerate being exploited to serve colonialist America in occupying your lands, killing your people, plundering your wealth, and then pillaging Africa and oppressing its downtrodden, subjugated peoples—guarding its unjust global system, defending its oppressive colonial order, and its agents? ﴿أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ﴾“Then Will you not reason?” [Al-Baqara:44]. 

Where is the honor? Where is the dignity? Where is the manhood? Our children and women in Gaza are crying out for your help—will you answer their pleas by aiding their killer? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?!

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ ۘ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ]

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” [Al-Ma'ida:51].
