We don't really know yet whether the current cycle is the oddball, or if previous cycles were unusually strong.

我们仍然还是不清楚当前发生的这次周期活动是否是真的奇怪，或者是以前的那些活动异常强烈。

Our goal remains to bring the current cycle of violence to an end as quickly as possible and then bring the parties back to the work of building lasting stability.

我们的目标仍是尽快结束目前的暴力循环，然后让各方回到建设持久稳定的工作中来。
