Turkey has been the scene of terrorism and street violence off and on for decades, but the suicide bombings at a peace rally on October 10th that killed 97 people and wounded scores more is a new low and has been rightly described as Turkey’s 9/11.
As all who have been following Turkey’s descent into chaos know, the bombings came after months of political polarization between the government and everyone else (but particularly the Kurds), fighting between the Turkish military and the PKK, Turkish airstrikes against ISIS, and a tightening crackdown on voices of dissent in Turkey of any sort.
In the aftermath of the bombing, the government has issued a blanket media blackout, which is unlikely to help matters and will only sow more distrust and confusion. While no group has taken credit for the bombings, they were almost certainly the work of ISIS and deliberately targeted Kurdish political parties at the rally. This is the latest in the never-ending fallout from the fight for Kobani earlier this year.
