Aftermath of truck bomb explosion in southeastern Turkey on Friday (DHA)
The terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) took credit for a new
deadly car bomb attack that occurred on Friday in Cizre in
southeastern Turkey. A suicide bomber gammed a truck full of
explosives into a checkpoint near a police station, killing at least
11 police officers and wounding 78 other people.
In hostilities with the PKK in the last year, more than 600 Turkish
security personnel and thousands of PKK militants have been killed.
Some 40,000 people have been killed since the conflict started in
1984.
Turkey is in a state of chaotic turmoil verging on instability. In
the last week alone, Turkey suffered a huge terror attack at a wedding
in Gaziantep, perpetrated by the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS
or ISIL or Daesh), causing a major change in Turkey's policy. ( "22-Aug-16 World View -- Turkey's Erdogan announces a complete U-turn on Syria policy"
)
As we described yesterday,
This
U-turn has led to a major military invasion of northern Syria, around
the town of Jarablus, attacking both ISIS and the Syrian Kurds.
So now, on Friday, there's a major new terror attack.
A furious prime minister Binali Yildirim declared "all-out war":
> [indent]<QUOTE>"No terrorist organization can enslave the Turkish
> Republic. We’ve declared all-out war against these terrorist
> groups. ...
>
> Like the Veteran [founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk]
> said during the War of Independence: 'Either independence or
> death.'"<END QUOTE>[/indent]
Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, "This attack, which
comes at a time when Turkey is engaged in an intense struggle against
terrorist organizations both within and outside its borders, only
serves to increase our determination as a country and a nation."
If you look at the trend, you can see that these repeated terror
attacks, combined with the failed July 15 coup attempt, are making the
country increasingly belligerent. Friday's terror attack comes just
after an invasion of northern Syria, and now Yildirim is declaring
"all-out war." We may find out in the next few days what that means.

**** After 50 days of violence, unrest in India-controlled Kashmir is unabated
****
After 50 days of violence, curfews and lockdowns, the unrest in
India-controlled Kashmir shows no signs of letting up. More than 60
people have been killed and more than 5,000 injured in clashes with
security police since the protests began on July 9. Many of the
injured have been blinded, as security police have been shooting
pellet guns at protesters, often into protesters' eyes.
Indian-controlled Kashmir has a mostly Muslim-majority population, and
new large anti-government protest marches were scheduled to begin
after Friday prayers. India took a number of steps to prevent
violence from occurring:
Although the marches didn't take place, there were numerous protests
and clashes across the whole region.
The violence and protests show no signs of abating, and it appears to
be spiraling into full-scale violence.
From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, the growth in
violence appears more and more to be following a similar path to what
happened in India's previous two generational crisis wars -- the 1857
Indian Rebellion and the 1947 Partition War. ( "9-Aug-16 World View -- Quetta Pakistan terror attack kills 75, while unrest grows in Kashmir"
)
The Pakistan reaction to the growing violence is to encourage the
separatists and incite more violence. The India reaction to the
growing violence is to deploy more forces and use bullet and pellet
guns coupled with curfews and restrictions. If there is anything
going on, in either Pakistan or India, that might be doing anything to
ease the unrest in Kashmir, so that a major new war won't occur, I'm
not aware of it. Tribune India and Al-Jazeera and Only Kashmir

Indian-controlled Kashmir has a mostly Muslim-majority population, and
new large anti-government protest marches were scheduled to begin
after Friday prayers. India took a number of steps to prevent
violence from occurring:
- Additional curfews were announced in several districts in
Kashmir.
- Two protest leaders, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar
Farooq, were arrested, to keep them from leading the marches. In
addition, several more senior separatist leaders were either placed
under house arrest or taken into preventive custody by the
authorities.
- All the roads in the planned protest march route were sealed with
concertina wires. In addition, forces were deployed along the
routes.
Although the marches didn't take place, there were numerous protests
and clashes across the whole region.
The violence and protests show no signs of abating, and it appears to
