    An investigation into a double suicide bombing in Ankara, Turkey has begun after the attack devastated members of a peace protest. On Saturday 95 people were killed and about 246 injured in the country’s capital in what is the worst terrorist outrage in the country’s modern history.

    The first bomb can be seen in the beginning of the video and is followed by a collage of shots from the effects of the bombs – which went off at the beginning of the protest. The protest was backed by the pro-Kurdish HDP political party and leftist secular groups and was calling for the government to make peace with the Kurdish guerrilla group, the PKK. One member of the protest, Goksel Ilgin, explained what happened.

    We started dancing the ‘halay’ dance as we were cheerful and determined to promote peace. Then we heard a sudden blast about 15 metres behind us. After the explosion I was overcome by shock. I fell on my knees, and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

    Then 15 seconds later there was a second blast. We saw flags and pieces of bodies flying into the air. People were injured and running around unconsciously.

    It took ten to fifteen minutes for someone to slap me to get over the shock. She told me to walk fast and scream. I did and started to feel better.

    But I will never forget the smell of burned human flesh. Even after I left the scene, I couldn’t help feeling it. So my friends made me smell some flowers and perfume to stop it. It took a few hours to smell the air again. I am OK now but I will never forget it.

    Although those responsible for the attack are yet to come forward, everyone is looking to the local recruits of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). Many Kurds believe that the Islamist AKP government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has encouraged Isil as part of his own political ambitions for Syria.

    Before and after the bombings, protesters were shouting ‘Murderer Erdogan’. A protest that was held to promote peace, soon turned into a massacre. Fallen protestor’s bodies were covered with the distinctive yellow flag of the HDP.

    This is a telling sign of the effects that Turkey’s decisions regarding the war in Syria are having within its own country.
