Bombing. in Voices Windward

They do not act in the name of their people, their faith, their lands or nation. Fanatical and twisted they are pushed by shadowy oligarchs, sold dreams of heaven and duty for profit and power.

The innocent lives they take come in all colours, all creeds and all manners of being. Globally lost minds are used to push fear and hatred, to tear cracks into our communities and drive us all apart and further into the arms of those who seek to control us.

Below is a list of attacks upon civilians by non state entities giving only the largest incident per territory and only those involving explosives and only in the past month …

I’d ask if you take the time to think about these things, think further back, think about the shootings and stabbings of militants and the drone assaults of nations, think about the lands that see this as a common occurrence.
