 The auspices of militarism and nationalism are nothing strange to our everyday lives. We encounter the waving flags as we drive past a school, a church, roundabouts, mountains, to the remnants of a military post stationed in the middle of the old town centre of Nicosia. We also recognize how deeply embedded the presence of the military is in our everyday lives that we forget that in total 6 armies tightly grip the island we call home. We also drive our lives along and side-by-side a Buffer Zone that directs how we move through partial territories of the island, a Buffer Zone through which we silence ourselves in crossing, interrupting our everyday rhythm as we travel across it. In our schools we teach that we never killed anyone, but that the Others did, never taking accountability for the militarism that incites and still takes strength from constructing the Other as an Other, whether as Ξένος or Gavur.
