The Tragic Story of Bosnia
It was ordered that all the men should be gathered together in one place. The militaries spread out in every corner of the city. Breastfeeding babies were taken from their mothers' laps. Men and boys leaving the city on buses were forced off. Ageing people were not spared. All the men were gathered and driven out of the city towards a field.
There were thousands of people. Women were driving. It was deep. Announcements were being made here:
"Don't worry, nothing will be said to anyone. Anyone who wants to leave the city will be allowed to leave safely."
The wailing women looked pleadingly at the UN troops who had claimed that the city was in safe hands, but they were all standing by as audiences.
Human heads could be seen everywhere in a vast field outside the city. Humans bow their heads on their knees and put their hands on the ground. What seemed to be a huge herd of sheep at that time? The arena was filled with more than ten thousand people.
A voice from one side fired
Crack, crack, crack.
The only fault of these silent beings was that these speakers were Muslims.
On that day, eighty-year-olds saw the dead bodies of their sons and innocent grandsons dying in front of their eyes. There were countless people whose souls flew away due to grief.
When this bloody dance of Satan stopped, machines were ordered to dispose of thousands of dead bodies. Big pits were dug and 5500, 1000 bodies were thrown into a single pit and filled with soil. It was not even seen that in this pile of dead bodies, there were some half-dead sobbing and some living people who survived the firing.
There were so many bodies that the machines fell short. Innumerable corpses were left exposed and then turned towards the Muslim women who were weeping at each other's feet across the field.
That naked dance of humanity started that if even the beasts would have seen it, they would have become watery with shame. Women who fainted from grief were also raped. Even after quenching the hunger for blood and gender, China did not come. For the next several weeks, a death watch hung over the entire city. Thousands of people were chased out of UN refugee camps and shot dead. In just two days, fifty thousand unwashed Muslims were turned from living beings into dead figures.
It was the worst genocide in history. This story of brutality is not hundreds of thousands of years old, nor is it related to barbaric tribes or the age of ignorance. It was 1995 when the world was sitting on a self-made civilized place. This place was not a backward African country, but the modern European town of Srebrenica. This incident took place right in front of the so-called peacekeeping forces of the United Nations, but in their support.
If you think this is an exaggeration, read once the statement of the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on the Srebrenica incident, who said that this massacre will forever remain as a stigma on the face of the UN.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Bosnian Muslims declared their own separate homeland through a referendum. Bosnia and Herzegovina was a state where Muslims were in the majority who converted to Islam during the Ottoman rule and settled here for centuries. But the Serbs living here were not happy with a separate state. They revolted with the help of Serbian forces. Meanwhile, the Bosnian city of Srebrenica was besieged by Serb forces. This siege continued for many years.
With the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces, it was formally announced that the area is now safe. But this statement turned out to be just a hoax. A few days later, the Serb forces under the leadership of General Mladic captured the city and began the inhumane genocide of Muslims, which history is still ashamed of. Meanwhile, NATO forces maintained a criminal silence. Because the matter was about Muslims.
Twenty-five years have passed since July 1995 to July 2020. Even today the civilized world is unable to wash away this stain. This is the only event in human history in which the burial of the dead continues for twenty-five years. Even today, in the surroundings of Srebrenica, the decayed bones of some human being are found, and the local people are seen burying them.
Row upon row of stones at places are a sign that people are buried here who have no other uniqueness except that they were Muslims.
Although later the world recognized the negligence of the United Nations and the criminal role of NATO in this killing of Bosnian Muslims by the Serb forces. The case went on and apologies were also sought. But alas, the regret of this regret
Now this incident is slowly fading from memory. The world remembers the Great War, the Cold War and Hitler's crimes against the Jews. But the massacre of Muslims is not recalled.
How many of us know that such an event even happened? The killing of fifty thousand men and children should be so easily forgotten? This is the bloody history that we have to show the world again and again.
Just as 9/11 and other events are being played out in a circle. Of course we have to keep reminding ourselves. The so-called civilized societies will have to continue to show their real face.
Another great lesson for us in this incident is that never rely on others for your protection and fight your battles with your own strength.
