Toddler dies as rebels, police clash in Turkey

Remember both the Christians and non-christians living In Diyarbakir, as the violence is rising. Pray that the believers and church there would be able to reach out to others during this time of crisis:

"A stray bullet killed a toddler yesterday as Kurdish protesters battled security forces in southeastern Turkey, a hospital said, raising the death toll this week to seven."

"The protests began on Monday in Diyarbakir, 70km west of Batman. Six people, including two children, had already died in clashes between Kurdish protesters and Turkish security in Diyarbakir.

The mayor of Diyarbakir, Osman Baydemir, called at a news conference yesterday for the protesters to “go home”. More than 250 people — mostly from the security forces — have been injured in the fighting between police and thousands of young people."
