Today we mark 25 years since the Srebrenica genocide in which 8372 Bosniak civilians were brutally murdered. They were killed after Bosnian Serb forces attacked the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica in July 1995.#Srebrenica25 ⚪️ pic.twitter.com/5NE5Qa4fLL

Many men began to leave the forests and surrender after realizing they had no escape. One such man was Ramo Osmanovic, who was forced by Serb soldiers to call his son, Nermin, into surrender. Both father and son were executed. #SrebrenicaGenocide pic.twitter.com/QwXsXgtPQK
