On this day in 1994, a Serb mortar shell landed in the centre of the crowded Markale market, killing 68 civilians and injuring 144.
The Markale Massacre was a horrific act of violence that was all too common during the Siege of Sarajevo. We remember.

A lot of people share the footage from the massacre during the anniversary and I ask that we do not do that. We can honour the memory of those we lost without exploiting a horrific moment for Sarajevo's citizens. It was a horror show and it remains triggering for so many of us.
Instead I ask you to remember the names of those who were murdered, people who stood in line waiting to exchange belongings for some food. People who were already starved, isolated, and scarred. People who were just trying to survive.
