Basra University for Oil and Gas Holds Vigil to Commemorate the Victims of the Speicher Massacre

=========================

Basra University for Oil and Gas held a vigil to commemorate the victims of the Speicher massacre. The vigil was attended by the University President, Professor Dr. Mohammed Hilal Hafez Al-Kaabi, the Dean of the College of Industrial Management for Oil and Gas, Professor Dr. Sami Obaid Mohammed Al-Tamimi, and faculty and staff. This vigil embodies the spirit of loyalty to the martyrs, the finest of Iraq's heroic youth, who perished in one of the most brutal and heinous crimes in modern Iraqi history.

The vigil began with a recitation of verses from the Holy Quran, followed by a speech from the Director of the Media and Government Communication Department, Assistant Professor Dr. Haider Ali Al-Asadi, who spoke about this tragic anniversary and the sacrifices of the youth in defense of the homeland. This was followed by the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and a minute of silence in remembrance of the victims of the Speicher massacre, who, with their pure blood, inscribed immortal acts of devotion in defense of the nation. These acts will forever stand as a testament to the magnitude of the sacrifices made by the sons of Iraq in confronting the forces of darkness and terrorism. This vigil comes in response to the directives of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and is part of the national activities that the University of Basra for Oil and Gas is keen to hold to commemorate national occasions and remember the sacrifices of the martyrs who gave their lives in defense of Iraq and its people. We ask God Almighty to have mercy on them and grant them eternal peace in Paradise.
