A recovering Bosnia remembers
Seth Feinberg
STAFF WHITER
Bosnia marked the tenth
anniversary of war last Satur
day, April 6, a conflict that ter
rorized the country for four
years. Considered the most
devastating war since World
War 11, over 200.000 people lost
their lives and two million
people were forced to flee to
neighboring countries.
Although the region is now
at peace, ethnic division lin
gers. After years of bloodshed,
the war ended in late 1995 af
ter the United States had
brokered the Dayton Peace Ac
cords, whieh split the former
Yugoslavian republic into its
current state.
According to cnn.com. the
Bosnian government is not
planning any major events to
commemorate the occasion.
However, there will be small
ceremonies to commemorate

the anniversary, where flowers
will be placed at some of the
places where war victims died.
More the six years alter the end
of the war. the Bosnian
economy is in ruins and the
majority of refugees have not
returned to their homes.
At the present time, CNN
has reported that former Yugo
slavian leader Slobodan
Milosovic is facing a war crimes
tribunal at the Hague, Nether
lands, on several charges. If
convicted on any count, he
could face life imprisonment
without parole.
Some of these charges in
clude crimes against humanity,
genocide, breaches of the
Geneva Convention (passed in
1949), and violations of the
customs of war.
Milosovic is accused of
planning the systematic execu
tions of Muslims during the
Bosnian war. In addition, he is
also accused of planning the
The Guilfordian
slaughter of ethnic Albanians
in 1998.
History and International
Studies Professor Jeff Vanke
feels that although things have
improved in the region, there is
still a long way to go.
"Yugoslavia's attack on Bosnia
in 1992 came one year after an
attack on Croatia and
Slovenia," he said. Although
these now-independent coun
tries signed a truce at the end
of 1995. it is primarily NATO
occupation in Bosnia that pre
vents a civil war among Bosnia
Serbs. Bosnian Croats, and ev
eryone else - historical Muslims
and descendants of mixed mar
riages.

Hussein
Title: President of Iraq
Background: Hussein
joined the Baath party at the age
of 19. In 1959, he made a failed
assassination attempt on Iraqi
Prime Minister Abdul Karim
Kassem and was shot in the leg.
He then fled to Egypt and nine
years later led his party to power.
After taking office, he mur
dered dozens in the government
on accusations of disloyalty. In
1980 he invaded Iran, starting
an eight-year war with no victor.
Two years later, he invaded Ku
wait but was run out bv U.S.-
led forces in the Gulf War.
"Many of these people still
hate eaeh other and prevent op
posing ethnie groups from re
turning home," Vanke said,
"and there is still no unified
government of all Bosnia.
Montenegro now wants to se
cede. and a recent treaty will
change Yugoslavia to 'Serbia
and Montenegro' if ratified. The
situation in the former Yugo
slavia is much improved since
1999. with democratic gains in
most countries, helping to sta
bilize peace. But the balance of
peace is still very delicate, as it
will take a very long time for
people to forget their suffering
and animosities of the 19905."
