11,541 civilians were ki!led, 1601 of those were children. Thousand of Muslim women were ra-ped just because of their religious affiliations. Small kids were sh-ot by serb snipers just to check their rifle range. It was horrible.

The bosniaks were cut off from rest of the world. It was total blackout of even water, electricity & other basic necessities.
Picture shows huge number of people lined up just to get water that they would get after days.

The UN was equally involved in the mass-acre of muslims. The photograph of serb leader Ratko Mladic sipping wine with the commander of the Dutch peacekeeping forces in Srebrenica shortly after the fall of the United Nations "safe area" on July 11, 1995.

Heartbreaking video of a bosniak muslim father being forced by Serb army to call his son Nermin to surrender. The son had surrendered after seeing father trapper among Serbs; both father and son were later executed by Serbs. Their remains were found in a mass grave in 2008.

There r more horrible crimes that I'm unable to share. All of this took place in the civilised Europe that boasts about its human rights records.
Pakistan, Iran, malaysia, Saudi Arabia were among the few countries to defy UN embargo and send aid/rescue forces/army trainers.

"Son, can I take picture with you coz you looks like my sons. He was of your age when he fled to wood and yet to return"

Even after 27 years of brutal massacre, the victims are still finding the remains of their beloved ones.
