Markale Massacre - Sarajevo 28/08/1995 - Police and UN investigation (18+)
August 28 marks the anniversary of the 1995 mortar attack on the Markale open-air market in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. There were two attacks on the market, the first on 5 February 1994, which resulted in around 200 injured or killed, and a second on 28 August 1995, which claimed over 100 victims.
This was one of the most horrendous incidents during the wartime siege of the city. A police officer who investigated the incident and testified at the ICTY described what he saw as the “last deepest circle of Dante’s hell.”
The majority of those wounded or killed were civilians who were shopping in the market when the Army of Republika Srpska carried out the shelling.
The Tribunal has established that these massacres were part of a campaign of sniping and shelling with the primary purpose of spreading terror among the civilian population of the city.
BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: SHELLING LATEST SITUATION
English/Nat
Four people - including two children - were killed Tuesday in the worst shelling of Sarajevo in three weeks.
At least 23 people were injured, including six Egyptian UN peacekeepers who had come under attack from Serb mortar shells.
There had already been one shell this morning - many Sarajevans thought that would be it for the day.
But a larger missile and a tank shell struck these housing blocks shortly afterwards.
The damage was largely structural - flames leapt out from some apartments while smoke billowed out of others.
Firefighters were kept busy tackling the smouldering wreckage.
United Nations' inspectors were on hand to see the sites, but there was little they could do.
Rubble lay strewn across the street and only some dared to look onto the scene, rushing back into their homes when sniper shots rang out.
Earlier in the day, four people - including two children - were killed when Bosnian Serb gunners fired a shell into Sarajevo.
The shell landed close to a bridge on the Miljacka river that runs right through the centre of town.
Among Tuesday's casualties were six Egyptian peacekeepers.
A UN spokesman said Bosnian Serbs had shelled the soldiers' observation post (OP) but added no response was possible.
SOUNDBITE:
Around 10 o'clock this morning, the Egyptian OP at (Emiravice?) was hit by 420mm mortar rounds. This resulted in the wounding of six Egyptian soldiers, two of whom were seriously hurt. We have been able to determine that the direction of fire came from the Bosnian Serb side, but we have not been able to ascertain the exact firing point on the ground and, therefore, unable to respond.
SUPER CAPTION: Lieutenant Colonel Chris Vernon, UN Spokesman
One woman had a lucky escape.
This maid was working in a building struck by shellfire and was trapped under rubble.
Once freed from the debris, she was taken to hospital where medics found she had escaped with only minor injuries.

Bosnia-37 dead,80 injured in bloody market carnage

STORY: SHELLS
LOCATION: SARAJEVO, BOSNIA
DATE: 28 AUGUST 1995
DURATION: 1.41
37 dead, 80 injured in bloody market carnage
A shell tore into a crowded, open-air market in downtown Sarajevo
on Monday (28/8), killing at least 37 people and wounding 80.
UN spokeswoman Myriam Sochacki said a single 120mm shell caused
the carnage, and that it came from the south, a predominantly Serb
area. The Bosnian government and Bosnian Serbs blamed each other
for the attack. Bosnian Serb Leader Radovan Karadzic said the
Bosnian government massacred its own people to gain an advantage
in the peace process. Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic
called for a postponement of peace talks scheduled to take place
in Paris on Monday. US Assistant Secretary of State Richard
Holbrooke, in Paris to meet with Bosnian President Alija
Izetbegovic, said the attack would not derail the latest US
initiative for peace in the region, but nonetheless the meeting
was postponed for several hours. The Bosnian government said a
series of mortars struck the market place at about 11am local time
as Sarajevans went to buy food. Bodies and body parts were strewn
across the streets. The gutters ran red with blood. Most of the
injured were taken by car to the city's main Kosevo hospital.
Others were treated in local health centers. The shelled Markale
market is the same site that was hit on 5 February, 1994, in an
attack that killed 68 people and wounded hundreds more. The United
Nations and NATO said they were considering airstrikes.

Viaggio nei Balcani. Sarajevo (BOS). 00187 - pijaca markale
VIAGGIO NEI BALCANI
Attraverso luoghi e popoli, alla ricerca di un messaggio di pace.
Viaggerò 100 giorni, con la speranza di arrivare il più in là possibile, col miraggio dell'Iran che molto probabilmente rimarrà un miraggio. Rispetto alla prima bozza dell'itinerario fuori cose a cui non sono interessato tipo Medjugorje e dentro, ancora più concreta, la voglia di capire a distanza di 20 anni cosa sia cambiato e cosa sia rimasto immutato dalle guerre jugoslave.
E allora un altro inverno pieno di video sconclusionati ma che tanto piacciono a quei pochi che li guardano e via di nuovo con la bandiera della pace che girerà zone martoriate a causa di contrasti e differenze.
Sempre...
...alla ricerca di un messaggio di pace da diffondere al mondo intero.
Pace, amore e fantasia!

The Tribunal Remembers: Markale Market Massacre - 28 August 1995
August 28 marks the anniversary of the 1995 mortar attack on the Markale open-air market in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Tribunal has established that these massacres were part of a campaign of sniping and shelling with the primary purpose of spreading terror among the civilian population of the city.
On 24 March 2016, Trial Chamber III convicted Radovan Karadžić, former President of Republika Srpska, for the Markale market massacres and other crimes. His case is now under appeal before the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals.
