Victims Need A Large Dose of Measure
|
The Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladi? took a BBC corespondant on a trip around his home village in Bosnia and showed him "every location where he said 101 people from his own extended family had lived before they were, he said, slaughtered by a pro-Nazi band of Muslim fighters during World War II." Muslims were among those who supported the fascist occupation of Serbs lands during World War II. Fast-forward to the 1992-95 that included the siege of Sarajevo. Under the command of General Mladi?, Bosnian Serb forces defied UN imperatives and resorted to ethnic cleansing against Muslims. This included overrunning and occupying the UN safe-areas of Srebrenica and Žepa. At Srebrenica over 40,000 Bosniaks who sought safety there were expelled and an estimated 8,300 were executed, allegedly on Mladi?'s order. In the 20th century were numerous victims of extremism, murder and genocide. In time, some victims were more careful than others in who they targeted for hostility and in the kind of revenge they approved. |
