Srebrenica at the Heart of the US Senate: Emir Suljagić Exposes the Dark Truth!
Did you know that a commemoration for the 30th anniversary of Srebrenica was held right inside the US Senate building? Yes, you read that right! The Congress of Bosniaks of North America (KBSA), with the support of US congressmen, secured the historic Kennedy Caucus Room, where Emir Suljagić, director of the Potočari Memorial Center, delivered a powerful speech unveiling deep wounds and injustices that still hurt today.
Painful Memories and a Sharp Message
Suljagić didn’t hold back. He called Ana Brnabić’s comments a “disgusting creature” and made it clear that his presence was not just a personal story but the voice of a people who survived genocide. He spoke of 8 innocent lives lost in Srebrenica just five days after a three-year siege and systematic violence that was an attack on the very existence of Bosniaks — politically, economically, morally, culturally, and biologically.
Personal Tragedy and Heroism
At 17, Suljagić fled the terror that destroyed his city and family. While he was lucky to escape the horrors, his family could not flee Srebrenica. He emphasized that people left their homes not because they lost hope, but to survive. During the siege, Srebrenica stood as a symbol of resistance and hope, and Suljagić was among the few Bosniak civilians who remained at the UN base, where two American officers decisively saved his life.
Justice and International Support
Suljagić stressed that the relentless pursuit of justice for Srebrenica has advanced thanks to international judicial mechanisms and US support. He added that Milorad Dodik, who deals with the Srebrenica resolution, will be busy for the next 10 years doing nothing, while Vučić and international courts play a key role in bringing perpetrators to justice.
The Fight for Dignity and Peace
In conclusion, Suljagić paid tribute to the victims and highlighted the importance of collective commitment to justice, peace, and human dignity. He praised US peacekeeping forces in eastern Bosnia for helping to correct injustices and rebuild lives. His message is clear: the fight against impunity and indifference must continue, because only then can we build a future based on memory and justice.
Is This the End or Just the Beginning?
As the world remembers Srebrenica, the question remains — how much have we really learned? Will justice ever be complete? And why do some still try to downplay or deny this horrific crime? If you have thoughts, share them — maybe your words can wake up those still asleep!
