US EditionI Helped Bury the Martyrs: A Personal Account From Srebrenica, 30 Years On
REPUBLIKA SRPSKA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, JUL 12 – Over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed during a campaign of ethnic cleansing by Bosnian Serb forces, with war crimes trials convicting key perpetrators.
- A collective funeral for victims of the Srebrenica genocide was held yesterday at the Memorial Center in Potočari, Bosnia.
- The genocide followed the Bosnian War which began in 1992 amid Yugoslavia’s collapse and involved Serbian-aligned forces targeting Bosniak Muslims.
- On July 11, 1995, troops loyal to General Ratko Mladić entered the town of Srebrenica, which had been designated a United Nations safe area, leading to the systematic massacre of more than 8,300 male civilians and the forced displacement of survivors such as Avdi.
- Mladić and Radovan Karadžić were found guilty of genocide and war crimes by the court established to address crimes in the former Yugoslavia, and annual memorial events held worldwide, including in Potočari and Australia, pay tribute to the victims and reject attempts to deny these atrocities.
- Despite ongoing identification efforts aided by aerial imagery, many victims remain unidentified, and the genocide’s impact endures through continued remembrance and justice pursuits.
