Translation of "إخبارهم" in English

وحقاً أردت إخبارهم عن محاضرتي القادمة في TEDx.

And, I really wanted to tell them about my upcoming TED talk.

لكن لم أتمكن من إخبارهم بما حدث بالضبط،

but I was unable to tell them exactly what had happened,

هي أكثر فاعلية من مجرد إخبارهم بما تريده.

is so much more powerful than just telling them.
