Intimidation is not a new tactic employed by the terrorists in the region. They have been attempting to spread fear and chaos in the region for over a decade. Unfortunately for them, they have been unable to break the shared will and desire of all those who wish to see peace prevail throughout the region. Our common sacrifices prove our shared stance against terrorism, and at the same time, we remain fully optimistic in regards to seeing terrorism subjugate. The need of the hour is to remain united against the enemies of peace, and fully support our governments in regards to our shared peace objectives in the region.
