Kamîran: The return toward Ras al-Ayn, which we also discussed yesterday, took another step today.

Ronahî: Yes. This morning the fifth convoy left the Ras al-Ayn camp, also known as the Telai camp. At first it contained three hundred eighty one families; later four more families joined, bringing the total to three hundred eighty five families.

Ronahî: The convoy headed toward the countryside of Ras al-Ayn, Tell Tamer and Zirgan. The deputy commander of the Internal Security Forces, Mahmoud Khalil, was also present there.

Kamîran: Yet returning to the countryside does not always mean returning home.

Ronahî: According to a report released today, Turkey controls one hundred twenty four military points in Syria. These points are mainly in the Afrin and Ras al-Ayn regions, and the same report states that entire villages and the land around them have become closed military zones.

Ronahî: The report says that because of this, residents of many villages still cannot return. No response from the Turkish side to the report has appeared in the news.

Ronahî: Syrian presidential adviser Mazloum Abdi held two meetings in Erbil. The first was with Kurdistan Region president Nechirvan Barzani.

Ronahî: According to Nechirvan Barzani's press office, the military and political situation in Syria, the situation of the Kurds there and regional challenges were discussed, and both sides placed priority on preserving stability and security. Barzani also reaffirmed his support.

Kamîran: And the other meeting was with the prime minister.

Ronahî: Yes, with Masrour Barzani. The Kurdistan Regional Government issued a statement saying both sides stressed the importance of preserving peace, security and stability in Syria and protecting the rights of Kurds and all components. Only statements from the Erbil side have been released from both meetings.

Kamîran: We have grim news from Hama.

Ronahî: Three Road Security members lost their lives in an attack by unknown gunmen on the road between Salamiyah and Asriyah.

Kamîran: Is it known who is behind the attack?

Ronahî: No, the attackers have been described as unknown and no party has claimed responsibility. According to local sources, the Internal Security Forces mobilised after the attack and launched an investigation.

Ronahî: Central Command member of the People's Defence Forces Murat Karayılan said in a television interview that unless a new decision is taken on Abdullah Ocalan, the process will not move.

Ronahî: This process began in October two thousand twenty four with a call from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli. On the twenty seventh of February two thousand twenty five Ocalan brought it to a new stage with his call entitled Peace and a Democratic Society.

Kamîran: So now there is an explicit condition on the table, but this view is from one side only.

Ronahî: That's right. Karayılan evaluated Turkey's approach to the process, but no response from Ankara to this statement has appeared in the news.

Ronahî: A women's delegation from the DEM Party visited the Kobani municipality after a visit to the PYD council in Kobani, where co-mayor Almaz Romi welcomed them.

Ronahî: The delegation includes Mardin co-mayor Devrim Demir, Yenişehir co-mayor Safiya Aladag, Farqîn co-mayor Sevim Biçici and Tatvan co-mayor Belkize Beştaş Epozdemir.

Kamîran: What was the purpose of the visit?

Ronahî: Demir says they came to assess the general situation amid the integration process and changes affecting local governance. She also spoke of the spiritual ties among Kurds and called for stronger cooperation between Rojava and northern Kurdistan.

Ronahî: Yesterday a group of Qamishli youth held a statement in front of Qamishli International Airport, and residents joined them.

Ronahî: They protested the employment of staff and workers from outside the region and urged Syria's transitional government to take the region's characteristics and the will of its residents into account and provide job opportunities for local youth.

Kamîran: Because of this, the integration debate we also heard about during the Kobani visit is now centred in Qamishli on daily work and employment.
