He was then Crown Prince for 20 years, and King for 11. And following a coup by his younger brother Faisal he died in exile Athens in 1969.
Dear people: you are well aware of my sole interest in you affairs, and your wellbeing, and I shall work hard in order to strengthen our country in every possible way.
Our forefathers lived for decades riding horses and camels and eating only dates. And for the sake of Arab solidarity, we are ready to sacrifice everything, even if it means returning to the desert to our camels and horses. As pride and honour with hunger is better than luxury with humiliation.
Islam came and took us from lowliness and disgrace and made us one of the strongest nations on earth, and our unity made us leaders at one time in history, and we were able to spread the word of Allah.
The unity of all Muslims is the greatest duty that every Muslim must accomplish. I call upon all Muslims to unite on the right path, to unite their opinions and to be like one solid unit.
