“On this, the 18th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, I offer my deepest sympathy to the bereaved and those who lost their loved ones during this horrific episode.
It is vital that the appalling events which took place in Srebrenica are not forgotten and they should not be denied. We must remember them to prevent such atrocities from taking place again and that is why the work of Remembering Srebrenica is so important and why I fully support them in this regard.”
A wonderful short film by the Srebrenica Memorial Centre, remembering last year's 25th Anniversary of the genocide. Thank you, @SrebrenicaMC

A superb event. Always great to hear from @srebrenicahasan and @AlmasaSalihovic - moving, thought-provoking and informative. https://t.co/kMDQPSmEyp
The significance of this is huge, & I hope the UK government will follow suit. I recommend reading “An Inconvenient Genocide” by Geoffrey Robertson QC if you want to find out more. @RobertsonQC @SrebrenicaUK @RemSrebScot #armenia https://t.co/TOdcaEficb
Fingers crossed for this amazing film at the Oscars.
For anyone catching up on their Oscars viewing this weekend, I'd recommend "Quo Vadis, Aida." Telling the story of the Srebrenica massacre through one woman's race to save her family, it's an unsparing look at how genocidal violence happens. https://t.co/McUpggcmPd
Watching the #BAFTA tonight? Look out for the superb ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?’ directed by Jasmila Zbanic, available on @PrimeVideo. It tells the story of the #Srebrenica genocide through the perspective of a UN interpreter @RemSrebScot @SrebrenicaUK #BAFTAs https://t.co/EVOshJ1ixK
Remembering the siege of Sarajevo and over 1,500 children who lost their lives during the siege 🇧🇦 https://t.co/APvFIGOdb1
On this day in 1993 Serb forces deliberately destroyed the Ferhadija mosque. Part of the genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign, the mosque was one of 16 in Banja Luka and one of hundreds to be destroyed throughout the Bosnian war and genocide. It was rebuilt in 2016.
2This year will mark 26 years since this genocide on European soil. I remember all those murdered by morally bankrupt men full of hatred and ignorance. Forget at our peril or we become complicit In genocide. @genocide8020 @UNOSAPG @SniperAlleyPhot https://t.co/CjgrrzXJ4U
Families of 12 Victims of Srebrenica Genocide gave Consent for their Burial in Potocari Cemetery. While this is not the final number of those who will be buried this year. Important to remember that each year more remains are found and buried at Potocari. https://t.co/SXPzAOLaV0
Today marks a Day of Remembrance for the Murdered Children of Sarajevo. Over 1,500 children were murdered during the brutal Siege of Sarajevo. We remember them and in their honour vow to educate on the consequences of hatred so that their plight is neither forgotten nor repeated.
