DID YOU KNOW?  -- Three years before the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide, Serbs torched Bosniak villages and killed at least 3,166 Bosniaks around Srebrenica. In 1993, the UN described the besieged situation in Srebrenica as a "slow-motion process of genocide." In July 1995, Serbs forcibly expelled 25,000 Bosniaks, brutally raped many women and girls, and systematically killed 8,000+ men and boys (DNA confirmed).

IZUDIN ALIC AND RATKO MLADIC'S CHOCHOLATE



General Ratko Mladic stormed Srebrenica on 11 July 1995 and appeared in front of terrified refugees Bosniak falsely reassuring them they were safe and can stay in their homes or go to the government controlled territory. He reassured them they have nothing to be afraid of. But, as cameras turned, General Mladic instructed his soldiers to rape women and girls and threatened to slaughter all men and boys.

Here is what Izet Alic, who was just 7 years old when General Ratko Mladic stormed Srebrenica and gave him a chocolate has to say about a former Serb commander on trial for the Bosnian Genocide:

"Mladic was trying to portray himself as a good person, and he is definitely not a good person. He is a bad person and a monster and everything negative. I would tell him that he is a monster and an animal and a blood-shedder."

General Mladic killed the boy's father and uncle and expelled the boy and his family from Srebrenica.
