Ronahî: Yesterday the new school year began in Syria, and since that day protests have been taking place in most schools in Qamişlo. Students reject the decision of the Ministry of Education of the interim government, the decision that allocates only three classes per week for learning the Kurdish language. The decision was taken on the twenty-seventh of August.

Ronahî: Today the protests also moved to Kobanê. In the Şêran district teachers, students and families issued a statement; the statement was read in Kurdish by Alya Mistefa and in Arabic by Emel Xelîl.

Kamîran: So this is no longer something that belongs only to Qamişlo — the same demand, in two regions, on the same two days.

Ronahî: That is right. And their demand is not only for more hours. A young woman, Hebûn Şikrî, says that limitation is unacceptable and Kurdish must become an official language of Syria. In Çilaxay young women also said they do not accept that the mother tongue should be studied in schools as a foreign language.

Kamîran: Yesterday we also spoke about these demonstrations. So far has there been any response from the ministry?

Ronahî: In our reports today there is no new position from the ministry — we only hear the voices of students, teachers and families. This also means that so far we have only heard one side of this discussion.

Kamîran: Let us move to the Kurdistan Region. Early this morning an attack took place in the Silêmaniyê area.

Ronahî: Yes. According to information, at four fifty in the morning three suicide drones attacked the camp of the Kurdistan Workers Association in Sûrdaşê. Several houses burned, but no one lost their life and there were no injuries. The attack was carried out by forces from Iran.

Ronahî: According to the association’s data, since the beginning of the war between Iran and the United States this is not the first attack on their sites.

Kamîran: That three drones hit such a camp and no loss of life occurs is also something important that we should make clear.

Ronahî: Yes, the damage is only material. And we should say that this information comes from the association and local sources — so far we have no official statement from Tehran.

Ronahî: At the Serêkaniyê camp today there is a different scene: nearly six hundred eighty-nine families, that is nearly seven thousand people, are taking down their tents.

Ronahî: Trucks have come to the camp, belongings are being loaded, and tomorrow the second convoy will return to Serêkaniyê and the surrounding villages. The Serêkaniyê Displaced Persons Committee says guarantees have been given by the province and the region on the security side.

Kamîran: Seven thousand people in one convoy — after all these years, this is a large return.

Ronahî: And this is the second return, meaning one convoy has already gone. Our report does not say how many families are still remaining in the camp.

Kamîran: At the same time in Serêkaniyê and Qamişlo there is also an administrative change, is that not so?

Ronahî: Yes. The governor of Hesekê, Nûredîn Ehmed, today issued two decisions and established temporary administrative offices for the councils of these two cities. By decision seven hundred thirty-five, Berîn Samî El Mihemed was appointed as head of the Qamişlo office and Mihemed Cuma Sakir as her deputy.

Kamîran: In southern Syria there was also movement on Monday.

Ronahî: Israeli forces entered the village of Trencehê in the north of Quneytra province with three military vehicles and infantry soldiers. According to our correspondent, during the operation smoke bombs were used among civilian houses. No civilian casualties have been reported, and at the same time drone flights in the area increased.

Kamîran: And in the same province the families of detainees also took to the streets.

Ronahî: Yes, in front of the UNDOF base. Families from Quneytra, Dera and the western countryside of Damascus took part, brought pictures of their detainees in Israeli prisons with them and asked the United Nations to act for their release.

Ronahî: In the past twenty-four hours three shooting incidents took place in the countryside of Hemayê. Two people lost their life and three others were injured. Armed men on motorcycles with covered faces carried out these attacks.

Ronahî: In one incident two brothers, Elî Derdarî and Muhsên Derdarî, were shot while on guard duty in a fig orchard. It took place between the villages of Zor Beirîn and Xirbet El Camî west of Misyaf.

Kamîran: And in the same area, around Misyaf, there is another incident.

Ronahî: Yes, early this morning the body of a young man named Ğeyas Newfel Silêman was found in his chicken meadow, about two kilometres east of the village of Kefer Kemrayê. The motive for the killing is still unknown.

Kamîran: Three incidents in one day in the same countryside — this is more a world without security than something separate.

Kamîran: And let us close with an economic topic that is being discussed in Syria these days.

Ronahî: The Ministry of Finance published the report on the implementation of the state budget for the first half of two thousand twenty-six, and this report opened a wide discussion among economic and academic circles.

Ronahî: The main questions concern the relationship between the state budget and the Sovereign Fund: how much money and property this fund manages, and how accountable and transparent it is to the public.

Kamîran: So the question is not what the fund does, the question is that no one knows how much it holds.

Ronahî: That is right; that is the central point of the discussion. And in these reports no official figure is given for the valuation of these assets.
