Imane Khelif is more than just a talented athlete; she is a symbol of determination and dedication.
Imane Khelif embodies the willpower, spirit, determination, and bravery of Algeria’s women, defending the national flag with valor and sacrifice. This courage and sacrifice are not surprising for the granddaughters of Lalla Fatma N’Soumer, Hassiba Ben Bouali, Djamila Bouhired, and thousands of other heroines who wrote their names in blood before gold.
Imane Khelif represents hard work, perseverance, and commitment as the path to success and excellence. Indeed, the values of work and commitment stand in stark contrast to the plagues of complacency, dependency, and opportunism.
At Mobilis, which chose you as one of its distinguished ambassadors, our selection and support for you represent our defense of these values that we also strive to instill within our institution. It symbolizes our break from complacency, dependency, and opportunism because we believe that work and commitment are the keys to excellence and leadership, as proven by the numbers. And today, you confirm this once again.
With your determination, you have also sent a message to the world, to all the world. It is a call for this world, which once advocated and defended and later founded itself on « let him work, let him pass, » to adopt a new, fairer, and nobler principle: « Let her work, let her succeed and shine. » Yes, « Let her work, and if you cannot applaud her success, your noise and discouragement will not prevail and will only strengthen her resolve. »
At Mobilis, we are proud of you, your determination, and your courage. We know you will continue to raise the national flag high at every sports event.
Congratulations to you above all. I am confident today that the whole world will adopt this principle, even if it takes time, not just in sports but in all fields built on work, valuing, and encouraging effort.
