Kamîran: Let us start with Iraq. U.S. forces are leaving, and in Hewlêr the move is not being welcomed calmly.

Ronahî: The Ministry of Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Regional Government issued a statement. According to it, under the joint agreement between the federal government of Iraq, the United States and the International Coalition, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from all of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region will be completed on the thirtieth of September, that is, tomorrow.

Ronahî: The ministry also says in the same statement that this withdrawal is a cause for concern.

Kamîran: So according to Hewlêr the process is still ongoing and will finish tomorrow.

Ronahî: Yes, but another source says something different. An unnamed official of the Iraqi government claims the withdrawal of all U.S. combat and support units from the country has already been fully completed. So far there has been no official confirmation or comment from the United States.

Ronahî: In the same region, early this morning three drones struck Azadî Camp in the Koye district of Hewlêr province. The attack took place in two waves: at one forty in the morning and at two ten in the morning.

Kamîran: Azadî Camp is not an ordinary place; the people there are connected to Iranian politics.

Ronahî: That is right. The camp had previously housed families of fighters from the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, a party opposed to the Iranian authorities.

Ronahî: Reports give no confirmed figures for injuries or for people who lost their life, and no one has been definitively identified as responsible for the attack.

Kamîran: We move from the South to Cizîr. Yesterday we already spoke about the Kurdish language in schools; today the streets and the schools are raising their voices louder. What exactly does this decision intend?

Ronahî: On the twenty-seventh of August the Ministry of Education of Syria's interim government decided to limit the teaching of Kurdish in schools to three lessons per week.

Ronahî: Today alone, four student protests took place in Qamişlo; the students delivered a letter to the city's education directorate. Demonstrations were also held in Çilaxay, and in Girkê Legê residents and students took to the streets in large numbers.

Ronahî: In Amûdê members of the council of families of people who lost their life in the war spoke. Ehmed Mihemed said Kurdish is the language of the people of the region and they have the right to have it as the language of instruction. Other members added that three lessons are not enough.

Kamîran: So the complaint is not only about the number of lessons; they say that after years of studying in their mother tongue the change came suddenly.

Ronahî: From Hesekê we have news of a return. Zehra Semio, a member of the Serêkaniyê Displaced Persons Committee, says the third group of displaced people from the Serêkaniyê countryside will return home on Sunday.

Ronahî: This group consists of more than five hundred families who are currently staying in schools and displacement centres in Hesekê. They will return to areas between Menacîr and Til Helef.

Kamîran: Their return depends on clearing the land; mines are still present in those areas.

Ronahî: For this reason the Hesekê Mine Action Centre has begun the second phase of its work in the Serêkaniyê countryside, Til Temir and Zirgan. The aim is to clear roads, villages and farmland before the displaced people return.

Ronahî: In India's Uttar Pradesh state, on the border with Nepal, heavy rain fell for three days, starting on Friday.

Ronahî: In that state alone at least eighty-one people, and in India and Nepal together more than one hundred people, lost their life.

Ronahî: The causes were flooding, building collapses, electric shocks and falling trees. Many streets were submerged and access to some villages was cut off.

Kamîran: And the rising water today is also a danger near us.

Ronahî: In Dêrazor province the level of the Euphrates suddenly rose and in many places, both in the city and in its countryside, it overflowed its banks. Water reached new areas, and residents and owners of farmland along the river are concerned.
