Srebrenica genocide survivor: ‘It will happen to us again’

With genocide denial rife in the region, a Bosniak survivor of the atrocities in Srebrenica fears future killings.

Survivors of the Srebrenica genocide, in which Bosnian Serb forces systematically killed more than 8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys over several days, have marked the 26th anniversary of the killings. Coffins with the remains of 19 Bosniaks found in mass graves and identified recently through DNA tests, will be buried on Sunday in the memorial cemetery for victims of the genocide on the edge of the eastern Bosnian town. Vahid Suljic was a nine-year-old boy at the time from the nearby village of Voljavica, who had sought refuge in Srebrenica with his family.
