Damascus. Sharing the Love, Sharing a Bottle of Milk. I was walking in one of the death-ridden streets of Damascus when I came across these two beautiful children sitting on the sidewalk and selling bread. They were sharing a small bottle of Papay milk, a popular brand in Damascus. Many Syrian children do not attend school and are working to be able to help their families to survive in a place where Assad and his allies Russia and Iran are not giving up until they force all Syrian people to flee and leave their own cities and become refugees.: photo by Dimashqi Lens, 22 March 2017

your innocent windshield
remembers the life of that bug
but isn't losing any sleep over it
and those deer better step lively in your path
over the dark asphalt where no sound exists save
the noise you make
as if blown toward me like metal leaves
from the three districts whence the smoke arose
back
then
and now arises again
in the aqueous urban dawn
of a nation consecrated to death
this much at least we will be able to trust
and when we are gone from this environment of death, and these disturbances you have interjected,
your beautiful inventions,
your beautiful inventions,
have continued to do their work somewhere, suffering
and causing suffering
outside our brains
and beyond our minds,
this is perhaps the one thing we will have been able to trust, in the night of the quiet bug
startled by the light of the generous man

Frantz Fanon: Concerning Violence
National
liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the
people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new
formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon. At
whatever level we study it -- relationships between individuals, new names
for sports clubs, the human admixture at cocktail parties, in the
police, on the directing boards of national or private
banks -- decolonization is quite simply the replacing of a certain
"species" of men by another "species" of men. Without any period of
transition, there is a total, complete, and absolute substitution. It is
true that we could equally well stress the rise of a new nation, the
setting up of a new state, its diplomatic relations, and its economic
and political trends. But we have precisely chosen to speak of that kind
of tabula rasa which characterizes at the outset all
decolonization. Its unusual importance is that it constitutes, from the
very first day, the minimum demands of the colonized. To tell the truth,
the proof of success lies in a whole social structure being changed
from the bottom up. The extraordinary importance of this change is that
it is willed, called for, demanded. The need for this change exists in
its crude state, impetuous and compelling, in the consciousness and in
the lives
of the men and women who are colonized. But the possibility of this
change is equally experienced in the form of a terrifying future in the
consciousness of another "species" of men and women: the colonizers.
Decolonization,
which sets out to change the order of the world, is, obviously, a
program of complete disorder. But it cannot come as a result of magical
practices, nor of a natural shock, nor of a friendly understanding.
Decolonization, as we know, is a historical process: that is to say that
it cannot be understood, it cannot become intelligible nor clear to
itself except in the exact measure that we can discern the movements
which give it historical form and content. Decolonization is the meeting
of two forces, opposed to each other by their very nature, which in
fact owe their originality to that sort of substantification which
results from and is nourished by the situation in the colonies.
Their
first encounter was marked by violence and their existence
together -- that is to say the exploitation of the native by the
settler--was carried on by dint of a great array of bayonets and
cannons. The settler and the native are old acquaintances. In fact, the
settler is right when he speaks of knowing "them" well. For it is the
settler who has brought the native into existence and who perpetuates
his existence. The settler owes the fact of his very existence, that is
to say, his property, to the colonial system.
Decolonization
never takes place unnoticed, for it influences individuals and modifies
them fundamentally. It transforms spectators crushed with their
inessentiality into privileged actors, with the grandiose glare of
history's floodlights upon them. It brings a natural rhythm into
existence, introduced by new men, and with it a new language and a new
humanity. Decolonization is the veritable creation of new men. But this
creation owes nothing of its legitimacy to any supernatural power; the "thing" which has been colonized becomes man during the same process by which it frees itself.
In
decolonization, there is therefore the need of a complete calling in
question of the colonial situation. If we wish to describe it precisely,
we might find it in the wellknown words: "The last shall be first and
the first last." Decolonization is the putting into practice of this
sentence. That is why, if we try to describe it, all decolonization is
successful.
The
naked truth of decolonization evokes for us the searing bullets and
bloodstained knives which emanate from it. For if the last shall be
first, this will only come to pass after a murderous and decisive
struggle between the two protagonists. That affirmed intention to place
the last at the head of things, and to make them climb at a pace (too
quickly, some say) the well-known steps which characterize an organized
society, can only triumph if we use all means to turn the scale,
including, of course, that of violence.
You
do not turn any society, however primitive it may be, upside down with
such a program if you have not decided from the very beginning, that is
to say from the actual formulation of that program, to overcome all the
obstacles that you will come across in so doing. The native who decides
to put the program into practice, and to become its moving force, is
ready for violence at all times. From birth it is clear to him that this
narrow world, strewn with prohibitions, can only be called in question
by absolute violence.

A
17-year-old was reportedly shot dead by security forces on April 15 in
Indian-administered Kashmir while at least 50 college students were
wounded by police officers who fired pellets and tear gas.
Video showing Indian soldiers using physical abuse sparked anger leading to violent clashes between police and protesting students outside Government Degree College Pulwama.
Indian police, assisted by paramilitary troops, created a checkpoint outside the college to arrest the boys who they said were involved in stone-throwing incidents.
Police used tear gas to disperse the protesters but the clashes intensified when pellets were fired, leaving many students injured, including Zeeshan Ahmed, who was injured in the head.
More than 15 students were admitted to the district hospital in Pulwama on the same day. Most of them suffered pellet injuries to their eyes. Zeeshan was later transferred to a hospital in Srinagar for specialised treatment, a senior doctor at Pulwama hospital told a local newspaper.
Mass protests then broke out as a result, with students from other colleges, including a girls' college, taking part.
The day-long protests and clashes on April 17 left more than 50 students injured.
