Gentlemen. Emir Hassan.
:02:01
Gentlemen.
:02:03
You represent
English and American newspapers.

:02:06
You ask for an interview.
:02:07
You want to know why
we Syrians fight the French.

:02:10
You may tell your people...
:02:12
...we fight
because they have invaded our country.

:02:15
They want to govern us, tell us what to do.
:02:17
We want to govern ourselves.
:02:19
We want Syria for ourselves.
:02:21
We fight to throw out our enemies.
To recapture our freedom.

:02:26
And we will win...
:02:27
...because God and justice are on our side.
:02:31
France is not in Syria as an enemy.
:02:34
We come because of a mandate
granted to us by the League of Nations...

:02:38
...which Emir Hassan and his followers
refuse to recognise.

:02:42
We are here because it's our duty.
We intend to fulfil that duty.

:02:46
With divine guidance, victory will be ours.
