November 4, 2013 “The ghosts still have no resting place” Descrier In 1991 and 1992, the democratic secession of the Republics of Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina from the Yugoslav socialist federation was met with military action by the Yugoslav National Army (JNA) in conjunction with local Serb forces. The JNA and Serb authorities set up concentration camps for thousands of Bosniak and Croat civilians, the most infamous ones being Omarska, Trnopolje, and Manjača. These camps played a major role in the Bosnian genocide (known as ethnic cleansing) in which civilians were the deliberate targets of systematic military action, forcible removal, and mass murder. In 1995, the armed conflict ended with the Dayton peace agreement, which divided Bosnia into a Bosniak-Croat Federation and a Serb Republic. Almost two decades after the end of the war in Bosnia, a few courageous souls are battling against denial to remember the victims of war crimes. Armed conflict may have ceased with the 1995 Dayton peace agreement, but the fight for a Bosnia free of discrimination, segregation, and war crimes denial continues. descrier.co.uk/world/2013/11/bosnia-ghosts-still-resting-place/
