A NATO peace-keeping force was deployed which is still there, facing intractable social and administrative problems. Later, in 1996, election was held which produced a three-man presidency representing the main Bosnian groups. Srebrenica was re-inhabited but Serbia left huge internal displacement of population from which the people have not yet recovered.

    Genocide, the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

The Nazis began the Holocaust by stealing valuables and discriminating; “They [Serbs] captured towns and villages and began terrorizing Muslims (and even fellow Serbs), taking valuables from the homes they raided” (Descent into Oblivion 29).

Victims were often tortured to death... non-Serb refugees were... taken to one of the many concentration camps, where detainees were beaten and half-starved” (Descent into Oblivion 29).…
