Srebrenica

Today is the 13th anniversary for the Srebrenica genocide – one of the most gruesome atrocities in modern history. On July 11th 1995, Serbian troops occupied the town of Srebrenica (inhabitants mainly Moslem Bosniaks ), and systematically killed men and boys.

This morning, the burial of hundreds of victims was done after DNA identification of their remains. Their families can finally find some peace.

The sad thing is that such atrocities will happen again! The UN and The Hague courts are not enough … they are not independent, and are manipulated by the same countries that are committing these acts. The US will never be tried for their massacres in Iraq, Russia will not be held responsible for its massacres in Chechnya. Israel will not be held responsible for the massacres of 1948, 1967, 1982, 1996, 2003, 2006 …..
