On June 16, 2011, Al-Qaida's General Command released a statement announcing “the undertaking of responsibility of Amir of the group by Shaykh Dr. Abu Muhammad Ayman al-Zawahiri.” The communication also stated, “We support and back the revolution of our Muslim, oppressed and suppressed peoples that have risen in the face of the unjust, corrupt tyrants, after they tortured our Ummah in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Ash-Sham, and al-Maghreb. And we encourage them and encourage the rest of the Muslim people to rise and continue resistance, sacrifice and persistence…until…true, full and anticipated change comes, which will not be achieved except by the Islamic Ummah’s return to the Sharia of its Lord…”
