We have no clear or correct news about where Azeddine is. The intelligence played with us, trying to break our spirits, to weaken us, to make us cry, but by God’s will, we will remain strong. We are still strong. I currently don’t know about Azeddine—has he been deported? Has he been released? Did he refuse to be deported? I don’t have any information to share, but thank God, we trust that by God’s will, he will return, despite everything."
