Turkey against the Islamic State
In Turkey aircraft fighter attacked targets of the Islamic State in Syria in the early hours of today, this action comes after Turkey announced that it would take “all necessary measures” to protect themselves from Islamist attacks and Kurds.
Currently Turkey faces growing insecurity along the border of 900 kilometers with Syria. Yesterday, in this same area, there was an exchange of fire between the Turkish army and the Islamic State, an action that left a militant and a soldier killed.
Terrorism is a global phenomenon, it is essential to know the reason why these men and women are attracted to this lifestyle. These reasons probably having to do with the context in which they live and the lack of support to achieve full, comprehensive and healthy development. It must attack the problem but so as not to generate more conflicts as violence, can not be the perfect way to eradicate a disease that affects the whole world.
