Potocari (Srebrenica), Bosnia And Herzegovina. 11 July 2010
2010 was the fifteenth anniversary of the fall of Srebrenica, eastern Bosnia.
Between 11 and 15 July 1995 the Bosnian Serb army has committed one of the most heinous crimes of the Balkan war. More than 8,372 Bosnian Muslim men were massacred, then buried in mass graves. Sometimes, to make it more difficult to find and recognise victims, the bodies parts were dug up and moved to other graves. So far 6,414 bodies were reconstructed through DNA examination, 3,500 already rest in the Potocari cemetery; only the bodies reconstructed at least of 70% can be definitely buried.
This ceremony is an event that draws thousands of people and that of 2010 was particularly crowded. More than 60,000 people gathered together and prayed for the victims.
During the mass funeral, 775 new bodies returned to the land, and never be moved again.

The war in southern Thailand
“The attacks look like they are well-organized, but we do not know what group of people is behind them.” – Chariman of the Narathiwat Islamic Committee Some trace the modern day southern insurgency back to the separatist fighting succeeding World War II, demanding Patani independence from Thailand. Others claim the insurgency derive merely from ordinary people tired of Thai cultural imperialism over a predominantly Malay Muslim area. Others still believe insurgent attacks are game pieces in the Thai political game, some, as Bangkok Senator Sophon Supapong, going as far as accusing United States of masterminding attacks. Attacks are rarely traced to a group or organization; no one ever claims responsibility for incidents taking place. All government and army initiated attempts to negotiate have come to a halt as they have consistently failed at identifying with who to negotiate with. Former Thai Prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra regarded the three southern provinces Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani as the local front in the global War on Terrorism. Attempts have been made at linking the insurgency movement to Al-Qaeda and label the insurgents as Islamic extremists, but none supporting evidence of such claims has yet been found. Victims are civilian bystanders, Muslim and Buddhist alike.
