Documentary director Tamanna Rahman takes the viewer into the heart of darkness, as she meets genocide survivor Nedžad Avdić and Srebrenica mother Hatidza Mehmedović. Nedžad was just 17 when the Bosnian Serb murder squads came to Srebrenica in July 1995. They shot him and left the teenager to die. Somehow, he managed to survive and tell his story. Hatidza lost her husband and two sons in the genocide. With other civilians, she had tried to find protection in the UN base at Potočari, only to find that Ratko Mladić’s troops had taken over and begun days of killing and torture. (23 minutes)
'I hope the soldiers who loaded the ammunition are tormented by the screams of the women and the cries of the children they killed'. Reaction after the VRS shelled a school in Srebrenica on this day 28 years ago.
Today, we remember the victims.

Today marks 14 years since Serb paramilitaries known as the 'Scorpios' who were filmed taunting their vicitms before shooting them in the back as they lay in a ditch were found guilty. Three of the Bosnian Muslim men they killed were just teenagers https://t.co/WVPXfIuoPh
@SrebrenicaUK Had the privilege of meeting the general in Sarajevo. A real character but above all a man of principle, who put morals above nationality. An inspiration. #goodrelations #TBUC
We are saddened by the news that the Duke of Edinburgh has passed away. He led a life of extraordinary service to our country and served the nation with total and selfless devotion. Our thoughts are with The Queen and all of the Royal Family, with whom Britain mourns.
