Director of Sudanese Ministry of International Cooperation Ahmad Malek Ahmad: "The way to achieve change is through fighting, through Jihad. There is no other way. Today, on Jerusalem Day, we saw the banners of the various mujahideen factions raised... You could see these banners raised by the men, whose cries ripped through the skies: 'The Koran is our constitution, the Prophet Muhammad is our master, Jihad is our path, and death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration.' I wish I could have kissed all these banners. [...]
"We've come here, along with the mujahid Hajj Majed, commander of the mujahideen in Sudan. He has come from Kurdufan, along with 5,000 mujahideen, in order to fight the enemy who incited against us – the Jews. Allah willing, we will be victorious. This is Hajj Majed, and he yearns to meet his death here.

Ahmad Malek Ahmad: "Let me conclude by saying that if Israel kills any of us, it should be aware that it is sending him to Paradise, and that it is paying for his redemption – because each of their bombs is the price of his redemption. Each and every bomb weakens the Israeli economy. We covet death they covet life.
