This week on War News Radio, we speak with a UN worker in Kabul about her life in the city over the past three years - and how she feels now that she’s leaving it behind. Emily Hager reports.

Then, we look more carefully at the role of the Iraqi Parliament and what they have and haven’t accomplished. Elizabeth Threlkeld reports.

Finally, we learn about a program working to get Arabic storybooks into the hands of Iraqi children. Anna Shechtman reports.

These stories, plus the week’s news this week from War News Radio.
