In Istanbuls suburban district of Kucukcekmece, pro-Kurdish protesters set fire to a truck belonging to the city authorities and hurled petrol bombs which damaged nearby shops. Hey, thats my neighborhood! And before you say anything: 1. I dont know what a petrol bomb is either. Molotov cocktail? 2. I was on a bus coming back from Izmir last night so Ive heard nothing personally/on local news, nor seen any evidence of rioting (I literally wouldnt have even known had a friend in Boston not tweeted a headline). 3. Im enrolled in STEP with the consulate in Istanbul, and I havent received ANY warnings basically since Israel started bombing Gaza. AKA regardless of what CNN/Fox tell you, the State Department dont yet think its a big deal. 4. I know, I know. Stay safe, etc etc. I promise Ill keep you posted if it actually becomes a big deal. Right now its not. But thank you for caring!
