Remember Yesterday, Act Today
This year marks 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, where over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered—part of a wider campaign of ethnic cleansing during the Bosnian War that killed more than 100,000 people, displaced over two million, and saw tens of thousands of women raped.
Srebrenica remains the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War, and a stark reminder of where extreme nationalism and hatred can lead.
Before the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina was a symbol of peaceful coexistence—a diverse society where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived side by side. But the rise of ultranationalism, driven by the belief in ethnic and religious superiority, tore communities apart.
As we mark Srebrenica Memorial Day on 11th July, we honour the victims and stand in solidarity with the survivors. We must also reflect on today’s world, where ethnic prejudice, discrimination, and the threat of genocide still persist—in Bosnia, in Palestine, and beyond.
