JNA Užice Corps are withdrawing from Višegrad. I don’t know if this means we are free. We can only hope so. We men will stay in hiding in the woods. The women will be safe in our homes.

Serbian paramilitaries are killing Bosniaks in the villages around us. Smriječe, Bare, Brijeg… they’re all on fire. We’re hiding in the woods.

We’re hiding in the woods and I’m trying to see through my binoculars what’s going on. All the villages around us are under attack. Will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Just seen a group of Serb paramilitaries getting out of a car and entering a house in Bare hamlet.

UPDATE: Shots have been fired inside the house and the Serb soldiers have set it on fire. They’re leaving the premises.

The two Bosniak women that were just killed by Serb paramilitaries in Bare are Musa Karaman and Hadžira Karaman. Say their names.

Oh my God. Fatima Ćelić has escaped the onslaught. Her mother, Musa, was inside the house that’s now on fire. She pulled her out of the house but she’d already been killed.

🧵 Four more women have been killed by Serbian paramilitaries, in the neighbouring hamlet of Brijeg. They are Musa Ćelik, Ramiza Ćelik, Mina Ćelik, and a little girl named Hidajeta Ćelik.

Fatima was hiding nearby and heard the final exchange between the killers and their victims. The Serb soldiers asked the women for gold and money. They had neither.

So they forced the women into a house and killed them, before setting fire to the house. This is a war crime. How is this happening in 1992…
