• Omar : [reading aloud]  'Cast away illusions and prepare for struggle. The world is as much yours as ours. In you lies the hope. Work is struggle and the practice of searching for the truth in the facts.'

  Veronique : Yes, but what precisely is a fact?

  Omar : 'Facts are things and phenomena as they exist objectively. The truth is the internal link of these things and phenomena, that is the laws that govern them. To search is to study. We must begin with the real situation inside and outside the country, the province, the prefecture and the county to employ the laws that are proper for this situation to guide our action and not generated by our imagination, that is to say to find the internal link of events unfolding around us.'
