In impressive testimonies, a Bosnian doctor and academic talk about the massacre committed by the Serbian army in Serbrinsa In 1995, they are likened to what Israel is committing against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip 21 months ago.
Doctor Eliaz Bellaf, one of the witnesses of the genocide in Bosnia, said that the suffering he lived not yet ended, likening what the Palestinians are exposed to in Gaza today to what happened in Serbrientesa.
Bellaf spoke on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Serbrientesa massacre, recalling what cannot be forgotten from black days in the history of humanity.
Billaf, who worked in the city of Serbrientesa East Bosnia and Herzegovina During genocide in 1995, he was fighting daily to save the lives of new people throughout a war that lasted for more than 3 years.
Death everywhere
He points out that death was wandering everywhere, considering that the world repeats its horrific silence in front of a new genocide committed against the Palestinian innocent in the Gaza Strip.
Bellaf states that he decided to voluntarily stay in Serbrientesa in 1992 when the war began in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was then a young doctor who was lacking in experience.
He says: “My soul and my mind are still carrying the effects of mass killing, wounds and suffering that started against the Bosnia (Muslims of Bosnia) in 1992, I was a doctor without experience or equipment, and I face injuries between children, youth and the elderly.”
He indicates that he performed all his surgeries in Serbrientesa without having sufficient experience and despite the lack of capabilities.
“We were lacking in the medicines, and despite all the circumstances, I succeeded with my team to save many lives in a field hospital in the region. Every soul we saved was of value to us, and every life we lost was indescribable pain.”
Bellaf confirmed that they were fighting to stay in days when death was wandering everywhere, noting that Serbrinsa, who was under the protection of the United Nations in 1995, was left in the hands of criminals.
Forest and hell
Bellaf notes that the Serbian army committed the genocide in Serbrientesa at the sight of the international community, indicating that he had surgeries for his friends and relatives.
“After a mortar attack, more than 30 wounded arrived at the hospital, I faced the bitter truth that I could not help everyone at the same time. I asked for help immediately. With the help of volunteer teams, we succeeded in saving most of the wounded that day.”
Billaf states that after the fall of Serbrinsa in the hand of the Serbs on July 11, 1995, he took the road known as the death of death, which passes through the forests.
He continues: “We are talking about 100 kilometers full of difficulties to reach the safe area. 15,000 people have decided to lose confidence United Nations The behavior of this road, I lived 6 days and 6 nights of hell that words are unable to describe, and I finally spare a miracle. “
Bellaf asserts that he continued to perform his duties as a doctor on the forest road, adding: In every meter there were traps, bombs, toxic gases and attacks, they wanted not to survive, and we fought until the last minute to save the wounded.
He says that Serbrientes is still a brutal place despite the 30 -year -old annihilation, noting that what the city witnessed is mentioned only on July 11 of each year, and the rest of the year is forgotten.
The hypocris of the international community
Billaf addresses Genocide You commit Israel In Gaza, describes The international community He is hypocritical because he adopted yet World War II The slogan “This will never be repeated”, referring to the extermination.
“Then this type of massacre was repeated in Serbrientesa, and the situation is repeated today in Gaza, where thousands of people (Palestinians) lose their lives.”
It is reported that those who commit the genocide in Gaza are those who have been persecuted in the past, and said: “The victims of the Holocaust are killing innocent today in Gaza. The victims of the Holocaust and their relatives do not hesitate to adopt the identity of the perpetrator today.”
A stigma on the forehead of humanity
For his part, the academic at the University of Touzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Medhat Chawich, says that Serbrinsa witnessed genocide 30 years ago, and that it occurred before the eyes of the United Nations.
Chausevic notes that the Bushenaq civilians were systematically killed simply because of their different names and religion, considering that this is a stigma on the forehead of human civilization, “Unfortunately, the identities of all those who were killed in Serbrinsa will not be recognized, and all victims will not be graves.”
He explains that Serbrinsa is still a place suffering from pain, stressing that women who have been killed and their husbands will leave this world without obtaining their rights.
“After Serbrientesa, we are witnessing today genocide elsewhere in the world, in Gaza, as people are killed in Gaza just because their names and their religion differ, just as it happened to the Bushnaq. This is also a stigma that will spend the bed of human civilization.”
The crime of forgetting to forget
The Serbrientesa massacre is the worst in Europe after the Second World War, as Bosnin civilians from Serberanza resorted on July 11, 1995 to Dutch soldiers to protect them, after the Serbian forces led by Ratco Mladic occupied the city.
However, the Dutch forces, which were involved in the international forces, re -surrendered to the Serbian forces, so that the latter would carry out an operation genocide It spent more than 8 thousand Bosnians of men and boys.
The Serbian forces also committed many massacres against Muslims, during the period of the Bosnia war, which began in 1992 and ended in 1995, after the signing of the Dieton agreement, and caused the extermination of more than 100,000 people, according to United Nations figures.
The Serbs buried the Bosnians in mass graves, and after the end of the war, the Bosnia launched the search for missing persons and recovering the dead bodies of Group graves And determine their identities.
On July 11 of each year, the Bosnian authorities have re -burying a group of victims whose identities are determined, in the Bottocharic Cemetery.
Since the seventh of October 2023, Israel has committed an American genocide in Gaza, including killing Fwjluser And destruction and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders International Court of Justice By stopping it.
The genocide left more than 194,000 Palestinians between a martyr and a wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
