Dear respected brothers of the Kefeyrian Brotherhood,
Greetings of respect and appreciation.
We would like to inform you that we have reviewed the circumstances and the situation related to the Brotherhood, and we have carefully examined the matters that have recently arisen. Based on the discussions that took place and after thorough consideration, it has become clear that certain organizational issues require attention in order to preserve unity and proper order.
Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to reaffirm the principles upon which the Brotherhood was founded, and to ensure that all actions and decisions remain aligned with its bylaws and objectives. The continuity of the Brotherhood depends on cooperation, mutual respect, and adherence to the established structure.
We emphasize that any actions taken should be for the benefit of the Brotherhood as a whole, and not for individual interests. It is essential that communication remain open and that all members work together in a spirit of brotherhood, responsibility, and good faith.
We trust that wisdom and understanding will prevail, and that this matter will be resolved in a way that strengthens the Brotherhood and preserves its honorable legacy.
With sincere respect and appreciation,
Signed: Saqr Irshad Al-Kefeyrian
Title: President, Kefeyrian Brotherhood
