Mustafić in Washington: The Srebrenica Genocide Must Never Be Forgotten!
Did you know that 30 years after the most horrific genocide in Europe since World War II, Srebrenica finally got its day of remembrance right in the heart of the US Senate? Yes, you read that right! Suljo Mustafić, president of the Bosniak Council of Montenegro, was there in Washington, where congressmen, US officials, and other dignitaries gathered to honor the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.
Congress of Bosniaks of North America: Not just victims, but successful members of society!
Selma Porča, spokesperson for the Congress of Bosniaks of North America, made it clear that Bosniaks are not just victims but active and successful members of American society. Instead of being forgotten or erased, they gathered in the US Senate chambers to remind the world of the horrific events three decades ago.
Support and education: Why does it matter?
Mustafić emphasized how important it is that the Srebrenica genocide is never forgotten, that it is continuously taught in schools, and discussed in the media. Without the support of institutions like the US Congress, the memory of this terrible crime could fade, and that is something no one should allow.
Reconciliation and the future of the region
Mustafić also stressed that confronting the past is key to reconciliation in the region and that Bosniak Councils in Montenegro work to preserve identity and strengthen cooperation among states on healthy Euro-Atlantic foundations.
Why does this matter to us?
This event in Washington is not just symbolic. It shows that the memory of the Srebrenica genocide is spreading and that the international community, or at least part of it, does not want to forget. In a world where history is often erased or rewritten, such events are beacons of truth and justice.
Is this the start of a new era?
Maybe it is finally time to recognize and respect the Srebrenica genocide on a global level, not just regionally. If Washington can recognize and honor it, why can’t others?
Conclusion
Remembering the Srebrenica genocide is not just a painful past but a warning for the future. If we don’t learn from mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them. That’s why it’s important to continue such events and keep the victims’ voices alive.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Has Washington finally understood the importance of this remembrance, or is this just another political show? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and remember — history is watching us!
