On this day in 1995, following Ratko Mladic's entry to Srebrenica, Serb forces proceeded to murder en masse 8,372 Bosniak-Muslims. Elderly, women, and even children were not spared. An industrialised & systematic plan to exterminate the Muslim population of Bosnia.

I remember.

As they split the women from the men, they did not spare all the women from the same tragedy that befell the men. Many women in Bosnia are still missing. Many of them were victims of a systematic genocidal rape campaign.

I remember them too.

Srebrenica was the final act of a 4 year long campaign of genocide. For 4 years, Serb forces looted and pillaged Bosniak villages and towns. For 4 years they seized cities and shelled them to oblivion. For 4 years they tortured Bosniaks in concentration camps.

I remember.

I will not forget Srebrenica and I will never forgive neither those whose acts of evil changed all of us forever through their attempts at our destruction nor will I ever forgive those who allowed genocide to happen in the 21st century.

I will remember. Always.

Today I ask you to join me in a moment of silence and a moment of prayer. I ask you to remember the Bosnian Genocide. To remember its victims and its survivors.

I ask you support both by following @SrebrenicaUK and @SrebrenicaMC in their mission to ensure the truth is heard.
