The Long War That Ended Last Week

A long and brutal war finally came to an end after more than four decades when the Kurdish militant group PKK announced its "fulfilled historical mission" ending its 40-year insurgency. Despite world attention waning due to other conflicts, peace remains rare. Turkey offered amnesty for the PKK’s fighters in exchange for cultural rights and Kurdish political recognition, while the PKK demanded significant political changes it believes are necessary for lasting peace. The situation remains uncertain as both sides grapple with conflicting demands and potential consequences.
