Srebrenica: Seeking Justice and Recovery
Issue 20: Srebrenica - Five Years After
Activists for truth and justice regarding Srebrenica organize the first large convoy of survivors and their supporters for a commemoration in Srebrenica. On July 11, 2000, the first large commemoration takes place on the site of the war-time Dutch Battalion (DutchBat) base at the old battery factory in Potocari.
Issue 21: Srebrenica - Prelude to the Massacre
Describes the war-time pressure on the Srebrenica enclave and the build-up to the massacre.
Issue 22: The Massacre - Shame of the Entire World
Under the negligent eye of the international community, the "safe area" of Srebrenica fell on July 11, 1995. Over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were massacred and buried in mass graves.
Issue 23: The First Returns
After a several-year period of economic embargo by the international community, international officials began to change their policy towards Srebrenica in 1999. The town was still under the control of fierce Serb nationalists, although Bosniak absentee voters had won technical control of the municipal council. In early 2000 the first tentative return began.
Issue 24: The Outcasts - Serbs of Srebrenica
The post-war Serb residents of Srebrenica were in an unenviable position. Many of them were displaced persons from Sarajevo, Jajce, Glamoc, and other parts of the Federation. They had not chosen to go to Srebrenica, and did not feel at home there. Other Serbs in the town had been displaced from their nearby villages, now ruined. As Bosniak return picked up in 2000 and subsequent years, displaced Serbs received much less international support for return than did Bosniaks.
Issue 25: Srebrenica - The Road To Suceska
The first return to villages surrounding Srebrenica began in the hilly area of Suceska, in summer 2000. Led by the organizations Srebrenica 99 and Drina, a few dozen brave returnees came back to rebuild their homes, now piles of rubble.
