Ahmed Al-Saadani sends a message to those who attended his father’s funeral

In his first comment after the passing of his father , the artist Salah Al-Saadani , the artist Ahmed Salah Al-Saadani wrote through his official account on the “X” website: “Thanks are due to everyone who offered the duty of condolences, whether by presence, call, or message. I deeply apologize for my inability to respond, and I ask God for mercy on my father.” I have full confidence in the Almighty God to shower him with His mercy, because he lived all his life loving people, truth, goodness, and beauty more than his love for his art and his family. We belong to God and to Him we shall return. You are the ones who preceded us, and we, God willing, will follow you. I love you, Father, and I thank you for being my father.

Al-Saadani had issued a decision to prevent any journalist or reporter from covering his father’s funeral, after he quarreled with a reporter at the funeral, insulted him, and expelled him from the funeral ceremony.
