*) Bosnia bids farewell to newly identified Srebrenica genocide victims Marking the 28th anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, Bosnia and Herzegovina bid farewell to 30 more newly identified genocide victims at a memorial service. Every year on July 11, newly identified victims of the genocide are laid to rest at a memorial cemetery in Potocari, eastern Bosnia. The memorial centre is the focal point of remembrance for friends and relatives of the victims, mostly men and boys, murdered by Bosnian Serb militias. After this year's funeral, the number of burials in the cemetery rose to 6,751. *) Dozens killed as ethnically targeted violence worsens in Sudan: HRW Gunmen have killed at least 40 civilians in a single day in Sudan's Darfur region as ethnically motivated bloodshed escalated in step with the war between rival military factions according to the Human Rights Watch. The human rights group said the killings include the execution of at least 28 Masalits, in the West Darfur town of Misterei. In the West Darfur city of El Geneina, several prominent figures have been killed in recent days and volunteers are struggling to bury corpses littering the streets, according to a statement by the Darfur Bar Association. *) Israel turns occupied Palestinian territories into open-air prison: UN expert A UN expert has said Israel had transformed the occupied Palestinian territories into an "open-air prison" through widespread, systematic and arbitrary detentions of Palestinians since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied territories, said that the high number of criminal convictions for Palestinians stems from "violations of international law and criminalisation of ordinary acts of life." In a report presented to the UN Human Rights Council, Albanese found that since 1967, more than 800,000 Palestinians, including children as young as 12, had been arrested and detained by Israeli forces. *) Russia vetoes UN resolution on cross-border aid delivery to northern Syria Russia has vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution seeking to extend cross-border aid delivery for nine months from Türkiye through a border gate into northern Syria. Thirteen other Security Council members voted in favour of the resolution drafted by Switzerland and Brazil, while China abstained from the vote, but as Russia is a permanent Security Council member, its veto prevailed. *) Messi lands in Florida ahead of Inter Miami deal Argentinian star Lionel Messi has landed in Florida ahead of putting the final touches on his move to US Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. The World Cup winner is expected to put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal, reported to be worth $60 million a year, before being presented to fans at a stadium event on Sunday. Messi said in an interview with Argentinian TV show, "We are happy with the decision we made. Prepared and eager to face the new challenge and the new change."

Since 2005 the March of Peace has been held in Bosnia and Herzegovina in memory of the victims of the Srebrenica genocide in 1995 during the Bosnian War.  It was then, on July 11th, that Serbian troops overran the UN safe zone that had been established in Srebrenica despite the presence of 450 Dutch UN peacekeepers and took over the city.  In the ensuing days estimates are that between 10,000-15,000 men and boys fled to the nearest Muslim safe haven, the town of Tuzla, some 60 miles away.  It was during that attempted escape that over 8,000 men and boys would be massacred by the Bosnian Serb troops, their bodies strewn and dumped in mass graves in the surrounding woods and countryside.  The March of Peace traverses the same winding and mountainous dirt road between Srebrenica and Tuzla and is often referred to as “Death Road”.  The three day march begins in Tuzla and ends in the small village of Potocari, a suburb of Srebrenica.  It is here where the memorial center is located.  Mass graves of the remains of those who have been found dot the hillside.  In the center of town, a stone wall etched with the names of those who have been identified over the years.  On day four, July 11, a service is held to honor those who lost their lives, and hold funerals for the remains of those found and identified through DNA testing over the course of the previous year. On July 8 of this year Mirsad and his wife Mirzeta joined thousands of others on the March of Peace.  Survivors of the genocide and family members of those who lost their lives.  Others came from small villages, towns and cities from across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Europe and around the world to pay their respects and honor those who lost their lives during their flight from the Bosnian Serb army some 24 years ago.  Mirsad and I spoke about the emotional yet rewarding experience. Marš mira Od 2005. godine, u Bosni i Hercegovini se održava Marš mira, u sjećanje na žrtve srebreničkog genocida iz 1995. godine, tokom rata u Bosni. Dana 11. jula te godine, srpske snage su ušle u zonu pod zaštitom UN-a uspostavljenu u Srebrenici, uprkos prisustvu 450 holandskih pripadnika mirovnih snaga UN-a, i zauzele grad. Procjenjuje se da je u narednih nekoliko dana između 10.000 i 15.000 muškaraca i mladića prebjeglo u najbliže bezbjedno muslimansko utočište, u grad Tuzlu, koja je bila udaljena oko 100 kilometara. Tokom tog pokušaja bijega, snage bosanskih Srba su masakrirale više od 8.000 muškaraca i mladića, čija su tijela rasuta i bačena u masovne grobnice u okolnim šumama i predjelima. Marš mira prolazi istim vijugavim i planinskim zemljanim putem između Srebrenice i Tuzle, koji se često naziva i „Putem smrti“. Trodnevni marš kreće iz Tuzle i završava u Potočarima, seocetu nadomak Srebrenice. U tom selu nalazi se i memorijalni centar. Brežuljci su puni grobova s ostacima onih koji su pronađeni. U centru mjesta nalazi se kameni zid s imenima onih koji su identifikovani tokom narednih godina. Četvrtog dana, 11. jula, održava se služba u čast onih koji su izgubili živote i pokopavaju se ostaci onih koji su pronađeni i identifikovani testiranjem DNK tokom prethodne godine.  Dana 8. jula ove godine, Mirsad i njegova supruga Mirzeta pridružili su se hiljadama drugih u Maršu mira. Onima koji su preživjeli genocid i članovima porodica onih koji su izgubili živote. Drugi su stigli iz malih sela, opština i gradova iz cijele Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske, Evrope i svijeta, kako bi odali pomen i počast onima koji su izgubili živote tokom bijega od vojske bosanskih Srba prije otprilike 24 godine. Mirsad i ja smo razgovarali o tom emotivnom, ali i dragocjenom iskustvu. 26.07.2019. Kliknite ovdje da pročitate intervju sa Mirsadom Hadžikadićem na službenim jezicime Bosne i Hercegovine

Thursday, July 11, 2019 UK accuses Iran of trying to seize British tanker, and Japan space probe lands on asteroid to collect underground samples. This is TRT World’s Daily News Brief for Thursday, July 11th. UK: Iranian vessels tried to block British vessel in Gulf The UK said three Iranian vessels tried to impede the passage of a British commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Britain said the Iranian vessels only turned away after receiving "verbal warnings" from a UK navy vessel. Iran's Revolutionary Guard denied the allegations and said if it wanted to, it would have immediately seized the ships. UK ambassador to US quits after leaked cables crisis Britain's US envoy resigned after his leaked memos characterising Trump's administration as “inept” triggered Twitter rage by the US president. President Trump said he would no longer deal with career diplomat Kim Darroch, despite the US State Department saying otherwise. British Prime Minister May, whom Trump branded as "foolish", said Darroch had the government’s support and had served the UK well. Bosnia marks 24th anniversary of Srebrenica genocide Bosnia marks the 24th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, burying 33 newly-identified victims in a collective funeral.

Hayabusa2 is the first to successfully collect underground soil samples from an asteroid. And that’s your daily news brief from TRT World ... For more, head to TRTWorld.com.

Het drama van Srebrenica is aanstaande 11 juli alweer 20 jaar oud. En telkens weer blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek dat het ‘falende’ Dutchbat gepiepeld is door hogere machten. Srebrenica wordt natuurlijk ook nog altijd herdacht. Dat gebeurde ook al in 2003, acht jaar na het drama.Wijlen Gerard Legebeke, een van de aanjagers van het Argos-team dat zich vastbeet in Srebenica, maakte bij de toenmalige herdenking een uitgebreide reportage. Hij was bij de opening door de Amerikaanse president Bill Clinton van het herdenkingscentrum in Potocari, samen met een delegatie van het IKV, en maakte er een indringende documentaire over.

Jugoslawiens langes Jahrhundert an Europas Rand und das blutige Ende des Vielvölkerstaates

De Nederlandse regering kreeg dit weekeinde kritiek over zich heen vanwege haar afwezigheid bij de plechtigheid in Bosnië. Zo werd van Srebrenica voor de zoveelste keer een Haags relletje gemaakt. Maar niet alleen de Nederlandse regering, bijna de hele Nederlandse politiek schitterde door afwezigheid. Argos doet vandaag verslag van de opening van het herdenkingscentrum in Potocari, speciaal voor al die afwezige Nederlandse politici: voor de leden van het kabinet; voor de leden van de Parlementaire Enquêtecommissie, die de nabestaanden van Srebrenica niet als getuigen wilden horen; voor de fractieleiders in de Tweede Kamer, die tot nu toe alle uitnodigingen naast zich neerlegden om voor de jaarlijkse herdenkingen van de val van Srebrenica naar Bosnië te komen. Ook komt de vraag aan de orde waarom meer dan acht jaar na de massamoord in juli 1995 pas duizend van de acht duizend doden zijn geïdentificeerd en nu door hun nabestaanden op de begraafplaats in Potocari zijn begraven. Moet Nederland meer doen om de identificatie te versnellen? Een reportage van Gerard Legebeke.

Reportage over (de nasleep van) de val van de Bosnische moslimenclave Srebrenica tijdens de burgeroorlog in voormalig Joegoslavië en de rol van het VN-bataljon Dutchbat daarbij. Het programma bestaat voor een groot deel uit een herhaling van de uitzending van 'Argos' van 10 juli 1998 en bevat verder een reconstructie van de reacties die naar aanleiding daarvan loskwamen aan de hand van TV-fragmenten en samenvattingen van gesprekken. Verder een vraaggesprek met ex-Dutchbat-militair Van Klinken over de hulp die hij en kolonel Kremer boden aan de gewonde vluchtelingen bij de compound van Dutchbat in Potocari (waarbij een dienstbevel werd genegeerd) en de beschuldiging dat Dutchbat-militairen medeplichtig zijn aan oorlogsmisdaden doordat zij de Serviërs hielpen bij het afvoeren van moslimmannen uit de moslimenclave.
