Response to the Video

In this video, or a documentary, a man talked about his survival experience in Bosnian Genocide almost thirteen years after the genocide. His name is Huso Mrkulic and he is the Muslim survivor from Bosnian Genocide. He was in danger during Bosnian Genocide; he might have killed by Serbs. He talked about how cruel was the genocide with the killing of people such as children, men and women. The population of Bosnia was 4 million before the genocide and almost half of the population was killed. Although he survived, he also lost a lot of things; he lost his house, his neighbors and some of his family. He considers himself as a lucky survivor from the genocide.

           Most of genocides are really cruel with an intense violence. Bosnian Genocide was also really violent among genocides. Men, women and children were systematically killed only because of their religion or race. In my opinion, Muslims don’t have their fault because they fought for their independence against Bosnian-Serbs. Also, Muslims were the group of people who lived since long time ago in Bosnia while the two other races (Serbs and Croats) started to immigrate to there not so long time ago. As there is a proverb such as: “When in Rome, do as Romans do” Serbs and sometimes Croats should have followed the law of the actual Bosnians. I also think living peacefully is logical for them in order not to collapse their economy. The cause is from them so they are responsible to clean up after.
