Deadly blast on Youth Camp preparing their help for rebuilding Kobane

A blast has occurred at the ‪#‎Amara‬ Culture Center in ‪#‎Suruç‬ district of ‪#‎Urfa‬ where members of the Socialist Youth Associations Federation (‪#‎SGDF‬) coming from various cities have been staying before their planned cross into ‪#‎Kobanê‬ to help the reconstruction works today.
Many casualties are reported at the scene.
Young and beautiful people from all over Turkey, gathered in Suruç, to cross the border to the war-torn town of Kobane (Syria), and bring smiles to childrens' faces by taking them toys, building for them playgrounds and libraries. They represented determination, courage, altruism, cohesion, selflessness. Their faces and smiles tell us much about them.
Today, afternoon, a bomb took the lives of 31 activists in Suruç, Turkey at a press conference of a socialist youth federation. Many more are wounded. Most of the dead were university students aged 18-22 who felt responsiblity to take a bold initiative in helping hands on the warn-torn people of Kobane - a demolished town.
It was an attack by terrorists and their supporters against HOPE and COHESION. But this shall unite their causes further.
Many protests were organized later at night, to raise voice against the massacre. Turkish government did not surprise, and in typical fashion, devoid of conscience and common sense, attacked the protesters with water, teargas and plastic bullets.

RIP
