The European Court of Human Rights has rejected an appeal by Russian-backed Bosnian Serb secessionist Dodik to overturn his removal from office by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Not a shock per se but as rumors continue to swirl that US will push incoming High Representative to scrap the law on which Dodik was convicted, this decision will make that more politically costly.
Rešad Trbonja was a teenager in Sarajevo at the start of the siege. In his reflections he shares the feelings of losing his youth to war and the loss of the peaceful, carefree Sarajevo he knew before the war.

In April 1992, while at home with her husband and two daughters, Bakira Hasečić answered a knock on her door. The local police chief, along with 15 other men entered her home. They placed the family on house arrest, repeatedly raped Bakira and her eldest daughter and robbed them of their savings.

@JDVance You are so wrong. This murder was shocking but it is you and your government who are peddling hatred, seizing on the religion of the perpetrator, when, in fact, this man was British born.
We are proud of the diversity we enjoy in this country. Address your own problems.
@StateDept The murder of Henry Nowak was shocking but you are so ill judged to assume this was the result of your soi disant two tier policing. Your comments attempt to stir up division in a country where multi culturalism has been and will be successful. We are proud of this
Today is International Day of Innocent Child Victims of War.
During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of children were killed, and tens of thousands injured or displaced.
Learning the lessons of that war, of the consequences of hatred on innocent children, remains vital.
We have resources sharing children’s experiences of war suitable for schools on our website, at https://t.co/CyJdEwZLvp

Farage told people to react with "cold hard rage" to the appalling murder of Henry Nowak. Since then multiple officers & a police dog have been injured in violent disorder. Sign the open letter now & tell him to stop stoking hate & division: https://t.co/DrU38wjBVz
On this day we remember the 675 victims of the massacre at Bijeli Potok. Bosnian Muslim men and boys taken from villages around Zvornik and killed. The oldest was 80, the youngest only 15.
Many victims were buried in mass graves along with the victims of other atrocities, including Srebrenica.
