Remembering Srebrenica 20 Years After The Massacre (VIDEO)

July 14, 2015 By Yasmin Khatun Leave a Comment

This year, Bosnia marks the 20th anniversary of Europe’s worst mass killing since World War Two — the slaughter of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces over five days in July 1995.

A day of guilt not just for the Serb forces but also the UN peacekeepers who failed to protect the vulnerable, and the world for watching as the atrocities took place. War crimes in Bosnia do not end or begin with Srebrenica, but it has become an open wound for the conflict which saw the genocide of the Muslim male Bosniak population trapped in the enclaves of Srebrenica by the Bosnian Serb army.

Refugee Rights in the Mother of the World: Voices Of Darfur In Egypt

January 9, 2015 By Matt Hanson Leave a Comment

As part of his community work, Abdel Rahman regularly interviews community members, conducting refugee testimonies for the purposes of basic needs, educational and service provisioning assessments. In the course of this work, which continues until today, Abdel Rahman shares relevant historical accounts of historical and sociopolitical importance, as among his exiled compatriots.

As Abdel Rahman introduces on particular case, “Mr. Nasir stands as a self-evident example of the suffering and challenges facing the true and brave refugees who have been resourceful and resilient in their struggle for durable solutions to the UNHCR resettlements section in asylum countries.”

Mr. Nasir is a refugee from East Sudan. He registered at the UNHCR in February 2004. As shown on his Yellow Card (Asylum Seeker Registration), Nasir’s mother and sister both lived in the United States of America. Nasir’s family reunification process was lengthy. It took him a decade in Cairo to hear the final result.

Palestinians Need Less Negotiations, Not More

January 5, 2015 By Matt Peppe Leave a Comment

When the U.N. Security Council resolution to end the Israeli military occupation of the occupied territories and establish a Palestinian state by 2017 was defeated, not a single human with a pulse was surprised.

The resolution received eight votes in favor, with the United States and Australia against and five countries abstaining. Even though the measure was one vote shy of adoption, the United States decided to exercise its veto power anyway just to make its rejectionist stance abundantly clear.

But the bill would not have lead to a fair settlement anyway. If it led to a settlement at all it would have been an unjust one for Palestinians. A just settlement would mean assuming the goals of the resolution as a starting point, not as an end point.
