Letter from Michel Saykali to his brother Georges Saykali, 16 Feb 1922

رسالة من ميشال إلى أخيه جورج، ١٦ شباط ١۹٢٢

Letter from Michel to his brother Georges. He sends his greetings and kisses to his mother and sisters. He tells him that the political state in Colombia is bad because of the elections. He fears the winning of the red party that is supported by 3/4 of the population (peasants, laborers, the enslaved and the poor). The winning of the red party in the elections could cause a civil war, and if they won they would deport all the strangers, especially the Syrians, out of the country.

رسالة من ميشال إلى أخيه جورج. يرسل فيها تحياته لوالدته وشقيقاته. ويخبره أن الحالة في كولومبيا سيئة لقرب الانتخابات. ثلاثة ارباع السكان (عبيد وعمال وفلاحين وفقراء) مع الحزب الأحمر ويريدون الانقلاب على الحكومة وطرد الأجانب لا سيما السوريين. وهو يعرب له عن خوفه من ان ينتصر الحزب الأحمر في الانتخابات.
