Entry-4 World response
After
everything was over, things in Bosnia were not good. The town is littered with
ruins and old buildings. Most people that lived there are leaving. No one
really wants to go back there. If they do they won’t have much of anything.
There is very little water, food and other supplies now. And the educated
people that lived there are leaving so find better places. There aren’t many
places to work there. The people that seemed to want to help the most were the
UN. They are the ones that sent troops out to help the distribution of medicine
and food to the Muslims. But that’s all they did. The UN, Unites states, and
the European Union would not let their troops interfere. And everyone knew what
was going on. There were media reports all about the mass killings and the
secret camps. But no one seemed to care, they just went ahead and let Serbs
commit genocide. When Bill Clinton became president he made sure to help
Bosnia. He issued an ultimatum through NATO, Serbs were to withdraw their
weapons from Sarajevo. The US kept trying help, but Serbs kept attacking.
“Bosnian Serbs not only attacked the Safe Havens but also attacked the U.N.
peacekeepers as well. NATO forces responded by launching limited air strikes
against Serb ground positions. The Serbs retaliated by taking hundreds of U.N.
peacekeepers as hostages and turning them into human shields, chained to
military targets such as ammo supply dumps”(Genocide in the 20th
century). August 30th the US led a massive bombing, it lasted until
October. Bosnian Muslims also got arms shipment from the Islamic country. As a
result half of Bosnia was re-taken by the Muslim-Croat troops. Now after all of
this Serb leader Milosevic was ready to talk about resolving this. He went to
an air force base in Ohio on November 1st 1995. After three weeks,
they came to an agreement.
