Understand the conflict
The conflict between India and Pakistan through the Caixemira region dates back to the sharing of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, when the then British colony was divided between the 2 countries.
Most Muslim cashmira became part of India after its Hindu ruler chose to join the country, which was contested by Pakistan. Since then, the 2 countries have waged wars and numerous armed clashes by the region, which remains divided between them, but is fully claimed with each side.
The dispute is marked by military tensions, separatist insurgency on the Indian side and constant mutual accusations of human rights violations and support for terrorism.
The clashes intensified after India bombard targets in Pakistan on Wednesday (7.MAI), under the justification of attacking “terrorist infrastructures”. Nova Delhi justified the action in response to a shot at gunfire against tourists in India administered in April, which resulted in the deaths of more than 20 people.
The current climbing of tension began on April 22, when one left 26 dead. The Indian government attributes the action to groups supported by Pakistan.
In reaction, India bombed targets in Pakistani territory and in areas of cashmire under Islamabad control. Hours later, Pakistan retaliated with attacks on Indian positions along the control line.
The increase in tensions worries the international community because of the nuclear arsenal of the 2 countries, which, according to SIPRI (International Institute for Research for Peace of Stockholm in Portuguese).
