The wildfires that have engulfed Turkiye for weeks have surrounded the country's fourth-largest city, leading to the evacuation of more than 1,765 people and causing the tragic death of one firefighter.
Members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party have started the process of laying down their arms in northern Iraq after announcing the end of their armed struggle against Turkiye. This significant development follows decades of conflict and marks a shift towards democratic politics. The reactions from the Kurdish community are divided, with some perceiving this as a hopeful step towards peace, while others view it as a forced concession without tangible gains.
