      <title>Assyrian jazz shines at sold-out Sydney Opera House concert</title>
      <description><![CDATA[More than 400 Assyrian music enthusiasts filled Studio Hall at the Sydney Opera House for a sold-out performance on 30 November 2024, celebrating the release of Evan Yako’s latest album, '6774 Assyria Ave: Jazz Town'. The concert featured a stunning repertoire of Yako’s original jazz compositions and arrangements with a surprising introduction of RAWEH and infusion of the traditional Assyrian melody and modern jazz music, also including three beloved classics — Fly Me to the Moon, Autumn Leaves, and Over the Rainbow — beautifully reimagined in Assyrian by Marlen Shukur and in English by Carmel Mesiti. SBS Assyrian was on hand to capture the audience's reactions and reflections on this unforgettable musical event.<img src="https://feedpress.me/link/17631/16910502.gif" height="1" width="1"/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The ancestry question was omitted from the Iraqi census, which began on November 20, 2024. While many are likely dissatisfied with this decision, there has been no public protest or objection. As a result, the actual population of Chaldeans, Assyrians, and Syriacs in Iraq remains unknown. They will now have to wait another 10 years to determine their true numbers.<img src="https://feedpress.me/link/17631/16898476.gif" height="1" width="1"/>]]></description>

      <title>Fairfield councillor Carmen Lazar steps down after three years with Fairfield City Council</title>
      <description><![CDATA[After three years on Fairfield City Council representing the ALP, Carmen Lazar is stepping down and not running in the upcoming elections. She claimed the party had failed to support key initiatives such as acquiring an MRI machine for Fairfield Hospital — a project only advanced after Mayor Frank Carbone gathered 11,000 signatures.

      <title>World Bee Day: What is 'fake honey'?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Monday, 20 May this year, was World Bee Day. Lab tests showed that half the Australian honey on supermarket shelves had been "adulterated" or mixed with other substances. SBS Assyrian talked to bee keeper, Joe Joseph, who has years of experience making honey as a hobby. He says that new regulations and tests must be implemented so that the industry is regulated and consumers are aware of the source of honey they are buying off supermarket shelves.<img src="https://feedpress.me/link/17631/16688715.gif" height="1" width="1"/>]]></description>

      <title>Will a monument ever be erected in Simele?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Dr. Muna Yako, leading the Human Rights Commission in the KRG, disclosed to SBS that her aspiration to erect the monument of Simele dates back many years.
