Mourners have gathered in Srebrenica to mark 16 years since the massacre of some 8,000 Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) by Bosnian Serb forces. The remains of 613 victims recovered from mass graves and identified over the past year are being reburied at a nearby memorial centre. The Bosnian Serb commander at Srebrenica, Ratko Mladic, was arrested in May and is on trial at The Hague. He is accused of ord

シリアのホムスは、今おそらく、ものすごくひどいことになっている。 ホムスの一角にあるバーバアムル地区は、「非武装のデモ隊を守る」という名目で武装している所謂「自由シリア軍（FSA）」（こんな重要なタームでもやはりウィキペディアの日本語版記事は存在しないので英語で）が「拠点」とする状態がずっと続いていた。そこに対し、2月上旬、1982年のハマの虐殺から30年を迎えたタイミングで政府軍が攻撃を強めた（一般市民の住宅街への砲撃をおこなった）。そして、軍事攻撃と封鎖（医療支援すら入れない）が続く中、多くの死者が出て、つい数日前にFSAが「タクティカルな撤退」をおこなったのだが、それで国際赤十字が現地入りできているかというとNO。シリア当局は「バーバアムルには爆発物が仕掛けられているので、それを除去するまでは赤十字を入れることができない」と説明している。これはほぼ間違いなく「遅延」のテクニックで、そ

大統領派集会の開催をめぐりトルコと欧州各国が舌戦を繰り広げるなか、トルコの大統領は14日、ボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナ紛争中にボスニア・スレブレニツァで起きたムスリム（イスラム教徒）住民虐殺について、国連平和維持軍として現地にいたオランダ兵が虐殺に加担したと発言した。 トルコのレジェプ・タイイップ・エルドアン大統領は、8000人以上のムスリム男性や少年がスレブレニツァで虐殺されたのは、オランダのせいだと述べた。殺害はセルビア人勢力による犯行だったが、オランダ部隊は住民を守ることができなかった。このことについてエルドアン氏は、「オランダやオランダ人を、我々はスレブレニツァの虐殺で記憶している。ボスニア人8000人を（オランダ人が）虐殺した。連中の人格がいかにひどいか、承知している」と述べ、虐殺はオランダの「道徳性」の「破綻」を露呈したと非難した。 自国部隊の失態が大虐殺につながったという認識

PARIS (AP) — France has started providing direct aid and money to five rebel-held Syrian cities as it intensifies efforts to weaken President Bashar Assad, in the first such move by a western power, a diplomatic source said Wednesday.

Anger in Bosnia after British PM Ennobles ‘War Crimes Denier’

As he roars around the streets of Srebrenica in his three-tonne, self-built, bright red Hummer, Rob Zomer does not exactly blend in.
It is a dark irony that just as Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, has begun cross-examining witnesses at his trial for war crimes and genocide at the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague, his arch-enemy Ejup Ganic, a former Bosnian president, may soon appear in a Serbian courtroom on war-crimes charges. Ganic was arrested last month at Heathrow airport, and has now been released on

The drama unfolded early on Thursday in the village of Lazarevo, about 80km (50 miles) north of
LONDON – The stop-and-go evacuation of rebel fighters and civilians from Aleppo had begun again as I write this, but the reason for the last interruption was instructive.

The same organization dominates the rebel forces in Aleppo, and its propaganda has w

A UN tribunal has convicted two Bosnian Serbs for committing genocide in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and sentenced them to life in prison. Vujadin Popovic, 53, and Ljubisa Beara, 70, were among seven former high-ranking military and police officials to be sentenced.
The former Bosnia Serb leader Radovan Karadzic must face justice, but the war crimes tribunal is itself in the dock The trial of Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, must go ahead with or without the participation of the accused. He has attempted to stall proceedings at The Hague's war crimes tribunal, boycotting its opening on the grounds that he needs more time to prepare his case,

A new BBC film telling the 'truth' of events in Rwanda only compounds the original sins of the West's media In the course of a few terrible months in 1994, up to one million people were killed in Rwanda in organised and systematic massacres.

The word “humanitarian,” as it is now commonly used,1 is relatively recent; in many languages it does not even exist.
