The picture shows my pregnant mother, sister & me in March 1993 after we were deported from

by UN trucks.
Our father Rifet stayed in Srebrenica.
November 1993, my brother Enis was born in Tuzla, he had never seen his father in his life, & we never saw him again. ⬇️
This is our wonderful youth and children. They are in the mosque throughout all Ramadan.
They used to come to the mosque before Ramadan, and they will come after as well.
It's called persistence.

Bosnian miners break their fasts deep underground.
"For someone who does not want to observe the fast, it is always easy to find an excuse. We work hard, and it is hot here, but we want to observe the fast, and Allah gives us strength to endure” said Salih Doglod, a miner.
Last night we celebrated Badr Night in
#Srebrenica
In all mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the 17th night of Ramadan is marked with special activities in the mosques.
The children born after the

in Srebrenica were completely the performers of the program last night.
Danas na džumi:
- Efendija našli su mi sina.
- Gdje?
- Liplje.
- Koliko ima kostiju?
- Skoro sve osim glave.
- Hoćeš ga kopati?
- Hoću ako Bog da ovog ljeta, ako bude mira.
Idriz Mustafić 27 g. traži kosti svojih sinova, dječaka.

Gospodaru neka je hvala na neizmjernim blagodatima.
Sinoć na svijet je došlo moje peto dijete po redu.
Sin, kojem sam konačno smogao snage dati očevo ime. Jednog Rifeta su strpali u masovnu grobnicu, drugi se Rifet rodio sa opominje da ne zaboravimo.

Saliha Osmanovic lives alone in Dobrak, near the border with Serbia. Her two sons & husband Ramo were killed in the genocide from a famous video calling her son Nermin. Today we accompanied her with the children to the holy places of Mecca & Medina. She is not alone she has us.
Last taraweeh this Ramadan in Čaršijska mosque in Srebrenica.

Prva iftarska noć, krenuli smo hairli sa našim projektom.
Iftari u Srebrenici za majke i starije osobe koje ne mogu sebi spremiti Iftar.
Večeras smo 11 podijelili.
If there was no genocide, we would be with our loved ones now, spending our days together.
But there is a big void in our souls and hearts that will never be filled until we die and meet them again.

These are 2 coffee cups that I found on the ruins of my house in

This is the place in

And today I came to this place waiting for him to show up from somewhere.
I've been waiting for 25 years ...
For many years after the genocide in

humanitarian organizations helped children without one or both parents.
That help meant a lot to us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my Arab friends because they personally helped my family…1/3

Ova srpska majka dijeli sličnu sudbinu srebreničkih majki.
I ovoj majki su ubili sina jedinca, isti oni što su mnoge bošnjačke sinove u grobnice potrpali.
Ubili su joj sina samo zato što nije htio da puca na svoje komšije.
Insani se prepoznaju, tako rado se s njom ispričam...
The parts of my uncle Hajrudin's skeletal remains that are missing these days have been identified.

Dio bosanske tradicije spašen od propadanja.
Nađem ovaj bosanski ćilim pored kontejnera bačen. :(
Žao mi je bilo ostaviti ti ga da propada neko je noći provodio za stanom da ga otka.
Odnesem na praonu operem i evo ga ko nov. :)
Čuvajmo tradiciju!
Ajša Bektić buried her 19-year-old only son today. He was killed in an ambush on his way back from Tuzla. She found him after 28 years and buried him above his house in Petrica,

My sister, brother, cousin & I in 1996, a year after our fathers were killed in

Torn & tight clothes and shoes, in hunger & sadness I dreamed of having a toy car of any kind.
Thank God that Eid is three days and nights. They can't turn off the electricity for three days and three nights in a row. Our mosques shone even more beautifully for us last night.
Happy Eid, dear good people from all over the world, from Srebrenica ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
“Pogled, pogled nema moga Rifeta, gdje si bio do sad, nisam ništa jela, tebe čekam da mi doneseš.”
Mojoj neni sam danas jedan od ubijenih sinova. Odbija hranu, samo od svog sina Rifeta će uzeti, danas sam ja joj taj sin, moj rahmetli otac.
Crtica iz života majke iz Srebrenice.
Rile moj, unuci ti došli da te izgrle, izljube i bajramuju s tobom. Halali nam što smo ti mezar opet prekopali, nećemo te više uznemiravati, uživaj u hladu dženetskom i vidimo se brzo, ako Bog da, u nekom boljem mjestu gdje nepravde, tuge i muke nema.

As a result of the storm, there was no electricity in

Ima profesorica u srednjoj školi u Srebrenici koja djecu maltretira, što nisu bila na Dan državnosti na nastavi, riječima:“Obilježavate praznike države koja ne postoji.”
Zamislite kroz šta sve naša djeca prolaze s takvim profesorima. Profesorice šta ti piše na licnim dokumentima!
