Fraternal greetings. Your telegram on 6/21. We have instructed our group in the Slevani area to avoid burning crops categorically. We would like to inform you that Latif Zebari has absolutely no relation to the lands of the Slevani area belonging to Zakho district. He is exploiting his relationship with the government and the force he has to assault the rights of the citizens in that area and usurp their lands and crops, a matter that cannot be accepted. We hope to send an investigative committee in participation with our representative in the Mosul Brigade to verify the truth of the matter, and thank you.
