In the rallied-mass, a number of expressive speeches and poems aimed at backing the Arrows of the East counterterrorism military campaign were delivered, reaffirming their categorical rejection of the demonization of the governorate, fishing in troubled waters, or igniting sedition, and reiteratedly articulating their standing cohesively to thwart any hatched schemes.
