Australia Country Overview World Atlas Targeted Groups Perpetrators Alert Status Genocide Stage(s) Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people ) Government Watch Stage 3: Discrimination Details In 1788, the British began to colonize Australia, disrupting the lives and culture of the Aboriginal people. The colonizers brought disease--smallpox--with them and took the indigenous land and food sources. There was also a common practice of raping indigenous women and capturing many for slavery. Later, there was a large campaign for assimilation in which children were separated from their families. The Frontier Wars and Genocide was a movement to kill off the indigenous resistance. Reports have stated that 40,000-65,000 indigenous people were killed for over a century. Some are even higher. Over the decades, the Aboriginal people faced racist policies--similar to Jim Crow-era laws and became impoverished. Reform began in the late sixties, but, today, indigenous groups are still fighting policies that disregard their cultural heritage and their history.

Turkey claimed the attacks were in reprisal for a terrorist attack in Istanbul. Ankara blamed two Kurdish parties: the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) and the PYD (Syria’s Democratic Union Party). Both parties deny any connection with the Syrian bomber. Turkey’s ‘reprisals’ in northern Syria and Iraq targeted Kurdish towns such as Kobani, Tel Rifat, and Sinjar, where many Kurdish refugees have fled. Turkey’s goal is to collectively punish all Kurds for an unrelated attack in Istanbul for which Turkey needs a scapegoat.
