I don´t have an answer for such a difficult question. Not only does this problem have a complex solution, but it also increases everyday.

Hi Tara,

First, thank you for this week’s news report. I saw it’s nearly 35 seconds, so it’s great for improving the students’ listening.

Second, I hope some governments to stop ethnic cleansing one day and believe the United Nations can play an important role in this subject.

Third, My wish is all people (regardless of their religions) can live with each other kindly someday, but it looks like some governments don’t want to happen this subject.

Best wishes and have a great weekend,
Bijan from the Persian Gulf
