Saudi Ambassador to Sudan Ali bin Husan Jaafar paid farewell here today to 500 pilgrims, representing the families of Sudanese army soldiers, who died as martyrs, in Yemen, benefiting from the order of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to accommodate them, as guests, to perform this year Hajj. The farewell ceremony was attended by top brass of the Sudanese army, Saudi Military Attaché, at the embassy Col. Ibrahim Al-Umair. On the other hand, the ambassador forwarded thanks to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for his gesture of hosting these families, reasserting that such a generous move is taking place, in appreciation of the heroics of the martyrs, in action, as well as to mitigate human suffering of their families, through enabling them to perform the rites of Hajj, supplicating that may the Almighty Allah bestows on them abundant mercy and pardon for, honorably, sacrificing their souls, wishing them acceptable and blessed Hajj and safe return, later on.
