Ronahî: At the summit of Çilmêra on Mount Shengal, the YBŞ and YJŞ command, together with officials of the Iraqi central government, issued a joint statement and announced that they are joining the official Iraqi institutions.

Ronahî: According to the agreement, the independent military status of these forces ends and four thousand one hundred and fifty-six fighters will transfer into the federal security system.

Kamîran: These meetings have been on the agenda since the beginning of the year.

Ronahî: Yes, responsibility for security on Mount Shengal is also being handed over to the federal authorities. The YBŞ emphasised that the success of this step depends on guaranteeing the rights of the Yazidi community.

Kamîran: In northern Syria there is also a heavy agenda concerning displaced people.

Ronahî: More than one hundred Kurdish families who were trying to return to their homes and properties in Tel Abyad were attacked and besieged inside the Regional Administration building.

Ronahî: The attackers struck their vehicles there. After this clash, the Internal Security Forces removed the families from the building and transferred them to Kobani.

Kamîran: The displaced people’s committee had said this return took place without their coordination.

Ronahî: That is correct. The Tel Abyad Displaced People’s Committee stated that their attempts with other parties have so far yielded no results. In Derbasiya, Hasaka, Qamishli and Tel Tamr, local people also protested and condemned the attacks, and the PYD said these acts violate the twenty-ninth of December agreement.

Kamîran: In the Hasaka area, voices of discontent from camp residents also rose.

Ronahî: Displaced people from Ras al-Ayn and Tel Tamr living in Washukani Camp blocked the road between Tel Tamr and Hasaka with a demonstration.

Ronahî: The protesters demanded that they be given the opportunity to return quickly to their areas. A citizen named Mûsa Mihemed said the camp conditions are extremely difficult and no organisation is helping them.

Ronahî: Also in the Jazira region, near the village of Bab El Ferec belonging to the town of Zirgan, a mine exploded.

Ronahî: As a result, three children named Omer Ehmed Ilêwî, thirteen years old, Salih Mihemed Hesen, thirteen years old, and Seîd Mihemed Mihemed, ten years old, were wounded.

Kamîran: The wounded were taken to hospital.

Kamîran: Let us turn to world news and the results of elections in Latin America.

Ronahî: In Brazil, in the second round of the presidential election, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won and defeated the right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro.

Ronahî: Bolsonaro received forty-eight point two four per cent of the votes and rejected the results. He claimed that the voting conditions were not accepted, but Lula was declared the new president.

Kamîran: In Jordan, the investigation into the church attack is continuing.

Ronahî: Jordanian state television reported that security forces have detained three suspects linked to Friday’s attack in the village of Hamoud in the Karak region.

Ronahî: In that incident, armed men fired on an Orthodox church during a funeral ceremony and nine people lost their lives.
