A Note from Bosnia and Herzegovina: Leading a Displaced Life

Upon revisiting 11 July 1995 in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), this piece reflects on a group of the Srebrenica genocide survivors as they continue through, as well as, struggle with their healing processes as internally displaced persons in a small village near Sarajevo. Largely left on their own since 1995, these families' existence has significantly depended on the humane and humanitarian assistance from a small, nonreligious, and US-based charity for food, shelter, and educational pursuits. The charity's commitment to BiH has led to a series of remarkable outcomes, but has also exposed numerous issues that merit additional attention from both the Bosnian government as well as the international community regarding the group in question.
