Associated press 16 Sept 1993 (reporter George Jahn)
“The United Nations issued an unusually direct and detailed statement condemning Muslim-led government troops for the massacre, which it called a ”cowardly atrocity.”
The killings took place Tuesday in Kriz, near the village of Uzdol in central Bosnia. Lt. Col. Bill Aikman, a spokesman for U.N. peacekeepers, said a British commander reported seeing at least 35 bodies, mostly of elderly people and including one young girl.
The U.N. statement said 70 to 100 Bosnian government soldiers launched an early morning attack on the hamlet, luring out Croat villagers. Government forces then crept around the Croat positions and attacked the Croat command in the village, killing two Croat soldiers, it said.
”This group then retreated, murdering the remaining population with firearms, knives and axes, and setting fire to some houses,” it said.

    A lot of the crimes committed against the Croatian population were also done by foreign jihadists along with the members of the Armija BiH, they looked upon that as their holy war and the sad part is Sarajevo is nearly empty of its Croatian population. What’s more unfortunate is that no one talks about this, which is sad.

    It is sad when men do. And we must remember, to ensure it cannot happen again.

        I agree my dear friend. Today world at a key turning point. Come together as one or fall as one. My USA is struggling. This election coming. A very important one. I hope you are doing well. I am still working and homeschooling my grandchildren. I tell people often. The children are watching us. We need to make the right decisions.

Hello,

I’m Ina

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia.  I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
