Mirela Muratovic, a Sydney resident, reflects on the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, where her father was killed. She was five years old when over 8,000 Bosnian men and boys were murdered. Her mother also disappeared, presumed killed. While her father's remains were identified and buried, her mother's are still missing. Muratovic emphasizes the need to speak out against ongoing atrocities, drawing parallels to current suffering in Gaza. The article highlights the slow recognition of the Srebrenica genocide as such, and questions the cyclical nature of genocide and inaction by the international community.
