BULLA KARATASI MASSACRE. Content Warning.
Garissa was burning by 7 am on November 11, 1980. During the night, the Provincial Commissioner had declared a State of Emergency imposing a daytime curfew over the whole province. The police and military contingents in armoured vehicles descended on the town, shooting at everyone and everything. Houses were set on fire while locked from the outside. Innocent civilians were beaten up and killed while women faced sexual atrocities. A message was shouted from a loudspeaker as the sunrose urging everyone in the town to gather at Garissa Primary School. Indeed, many of them never even made it there, and for the ones who did, more suffering awaited them.

Turkey's oppossition works to seize momentum after leader's arrest
Turkey’s opposition works to seize momentum after leader’s arrest Turkey’s opposition is working to seize momentum after a leader’s arrest because the detention of a prominent political figure often galvanizes public outrage, energizes supporters, and creates an opportunity to challenge the ruling party’s dominance. The reason the opposition is making the most of this time is as follows: 1. Organizing Public Outrage and Solidarity Outrage at Perceived Injustice: If the arrest is viewed as politically motivated, as is the case with many opposition detentions under Erdoan's administration, it may elicit protests and widespread public support. Unifying Turkey's Divided Opposition: The secular CHP, nationalist Y Party, and pro-Kurdish DEM Party are just a few examples of the opposition's many factions. They might be forced to unite behind a common cause after a well-publicized arrest. 2. Bringing attention to government crackdowns Narrative of Authoritarianism: The opposition uses the arrest to frame the ruling AKP as repressive, undermining democracy and the rule of law.

"The Last Human Touch"
Earth was quieter than ever in the year 2147. Not because there were fewer people, but because they had stopped talking. Every home, every office, every vehicle was filled with silent minds connected by the global neural network known as "SynapseNet." Messages were thoughts. Emojis depicted feelings. Conversations were silent exchanges in a world ruled by artificial intelligence.
