We ask God Almighty to grand a speedy recovery to those afflicted in their bodies, to compensate those who have been harmed in their property, and to grant security and safety to this pure land.

Given the critical stage that our country in general and our beloved capital in particular are going through, and given that the Stability Support Agency is an independent entity under the Presidency of the State, and its mission is to establish security, stability, and construction, and out of our absolute commitment to carrying out our work to the fullest extent, we therefore recommend the following to ourselves and all members of the agency, including officers, non-commissioned officers, individuals and employees:

- Adhere to the highest levels of discipline, order, and security commitment.
- Adhere to the instructions and orders issued through the administrative chain of command and the structure of the agency, and make the protection of lives and public and private property a priority.
- Commitment to self-control in accordance with applicable laws, legislation, and instructions.

In conclusion, we urge all department directors and heads of offices, branches, and sections of the agency to attend the meeting, the time and location of which will be determined by us at a later time."
