US EditionGenocide Unfolded: Timeline Of The Srebrenica Massacre
GERMANY, JUL 11 – The German Bundestag marked 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, amid disputes over the far-right AfD party's denial of the massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak men in 1995.
- During the Bundestag’s 30th anniversary session, AfD denied the genocide, prompting Bundestag President Julia Klöckner and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul to rebut with strong condemnations.
- Commemorating the 30th anniversary, the genocide originated with Operation Krivaja ’95 in early July 1995, leading to over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys killed by Bosnian Serb forces.
- Data confirm over 8,000 killed with 6,955 victims identified, emphasizing Europe's zero tolerance for denial.
- Following the uproar at the Bundestag, Dobrindt warned that banning the AfD could deepen coalition tensions.
- Beyond Berlin, European Commission President von der Leyen urges global recognition of Srebrenica's genocide through establishing July 11 as an International Day of Reflection and Commemoration.
