"On Martyrs' Day, we renew our pledge and loyalty to the memory of our heroes, who sacrificed their pure souls to ensure that Egypt remains steadfast, secure, and stable," President El-Sisi wrote on his official Facebook page.
The Egyptian president further reaffirmed his dedication to the noble cause for which the Egyptian martyrs sacrificed.
"We continue the path of defending the nation and elevating its status, regardless of the challenges we face," El-Sisi wrote.
In addition, the president reaffirmed his commitment to providing all the necessary support to the families of the Egyptian martyrs, expressing pride in their heroic contributions to Egypt.
"Those heroes, whose names will be etched in the most dignified pages of history across generations. May Allah have mercy on our martyrs and protect Egypt from the evils of its enemies." El-Sisi added.
Egypt marks Martyrs' Day in remembrance of Lieutenant General Abdel-Moneim Riyad, an Egyptian army chief of staff and veteran commander who was killed in an Israeli mortar attack on 9 March 1969 during the War of Attrition.
