The image is a map of Turkey and surrounding countries, displaying the distribution of violent events from Turkey’s PKK conflict from 2016 to 2022. The map is set against a white background with country boundaries outlined. The map displays numerous dots scattered throughout the region, each dot representing a violent event.
It is a screenshot of a gif that changes to show the violent events throughout the years. On the top left of the map there is the year 2016, showing readers in which time the highlighted violent events are taking place. As the gif is looping this changes to 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The incidents shown include those between Turkish security forces and the PKK in Turkey, as well as northern Iraq and the YPG in northern Syria.
