SIEGE OF SREBRENICA: BACK TO 1992 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Guest Post: Daniel Toljaga

The following is a rare footage from the besieged Srebrenica that I unearthed from the court database of the Hague Tribunal. The footage was taken in August of 1992. It shows Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) civilians in the besieged enclave of Srebrenica hiding in the woods from Serb forces that destroyed surrounding Bosnian Muslim villages.

The above video is a good compliment to my Prelude to the Srebrenica Genocide: Mass murder and ethnic cleansing of Bosniaks in the Srebrenica region during the first three months of the Bosnian War (April-June 1992). I also recommend Tony Birtley’s reporting from the besieged Srebrenica (1993), which I re-published (with author’s permission) in three segments:

1. Starvation in Pre-Genocide Srebrenica – Tony Birtley, part 1/3

2. Desperation and Resistance in Pre-Genocide Srebrenica – Tony Birtley, part 2/3

3. Scenes from Hell in Pre-Genocide Srebrenica – Tony Birtley, part 3/3

US, CANADA, JORDAN BOYCOTT DEBATE ON HAGUE TRIBUNAL ORGANIZED BY SERBIAN DIPLOMAT AT THE UN

US, Canada, Jordan boycott UN meeting on global criminal justice that excluded war victims

UNITED NATIONS – Barred from speaking at a U.N. meeting on international criminal justice, Bosnian activist Munira Subasic, who lost 22 close family members in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, said she felt powerless as she listened to Serbia's ultranationalist president attack the U.N. war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia as politically biased.

Subasic said Wednesday that she believed that Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic was also denying the genocide at Srebrenica by Bosnian Serbs that killed some 8,000 Muslim  [Bosniak] men and boys, including her husband and beloved youngest son, Nermin. It was Europe's worst massacre of civilians since World War II.
