BOSNIAN MAN HOLDING FLAG READING "STOP KILLING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN" VITEZ, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - APRIL 16, 2025: Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, Apr. 16, commemorated the 116 victims of a massacre in the village of Ahmići during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. Participants laid flowers and prayed at the Vitez Martyrdom monument and marched to the village of Ahmici. The ceremony also featured a protest against ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, with attendees holding signs that read, “Stop killing Palestinian children.” The massacre in Ahmici, where Bosnian Croats turned against Bosnian Muslims, has been defined as the single most savage example of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. Croatian soldiers raided the village of Ahmici during the morning prayer on April 16, 1993, and murdered 116 Bosnian civilians, including 32 women and 11 children. Among those murdered in Ahmici was a 3-month-old baby whose burnt body was later taken out of the oven. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has ruled that the killings in Ahmici were crimes against humanity and gave prison sentences ranging from 6 to 25 years to the Croatian Defense Council commanders and soldiers of the period. The Bosnian War began on March 1, 1992, and lasted until Dec. 14, 1995. The war lasted for more than three years, over 100,000 people lost their lives, and around 2 million people were forced to migrate. Bosnia-Herzegovina suffered great pain during its independence war, including the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica genocide, Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.
