Quote : | "Total population: 3.8 million
Muslim population: 1.5 million (40%)
Background: Bosnia-Hercegovina is still recovering from the bloody inter-ethnic war of 1992-95. Around 250,000 people died in the conflict between Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Serbs. Almost 8,000 Muslims were killed by Bosnian Serbs at Srebrenica in 1995 - Europe's worst atrocity since World War II. Many Muslims were displaced, as were members of other communities. A peacekeeping force remains in the country, whose frontiers have long been considered the western borders of the Islamic faith in Europe." |
Quote : | "Kosovo background: The late 1990s saw devastating conflict after the Kosovo Liberation Army, supported by the majority ethnic Albanians - most of whom are Muslim - came out in open rebellion against Serbian rule. Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic began "ethnic cleansing" against the Kosovo Albanian population. Thousands died and hundreds of thousands fled. Nato intervened between March and June 1999 with a 78 day bombing campaign to push back Serb forces and Kosovo remains under UN control. The ethnic Albanian community has expressed frustration at the length of time being taken to decide Kosovo's future status. Attacks against Kosovo's remaining minority Serb population have caused concern." |

UNC's response:
Quote : | "After a very trying and emotional string of events on campus over the past few weeks, students, faculty, and staff will gather in the Pit on Monday, March 20 to embrace our unity as part of the Carolina Family.
We ask you to join us in the Pit at 11:50 a.m. for a celebration of our positive spirit and to reflect on the events that have recently taken place at UNC. Following brief remarks from Student Body President Seth Dearmin, we will have a moment of silent reflection.
After the conclusion of this brief program, Run of the Mill bluegrass band will perform in the Pit. We encourage you to enjoy this festive atmosphere as members of our campus continue to embrace and support one another.
Sponsored by the Executive Branch of Student Government and Office of Student Affairs" |
