On This Day – May 4, 1992
The Assembly of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the official flag and coat of arms—marking a historic step in affirming statehood and identity during the country’s most difficult times.
The flag featured a white background with a central blue shield bearing six golden lilies (Lilium bosniacum) and a white diagonal band, symbolizing the medieval Bosnian kingdom and continuity of statehood.
The coat of arms, inspired by royal seals and the cloak of King Tvrtko I Kotromanić, reinforced Bosnia's historical heritage. The process began in 1991, led by experts from the National Museum, historians, designers, and legal advisors. Despite the outbreak of war, Dr. Enver Imamović and designer Zvonimir Bebek completed the project in just 40 days.
On May 4, the Presidency adopted the symbols without objection. They became powerful signs of resistance, unity, and identity throughout the war.

On This Day – May 4, 1992 The Assembly of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the official flag and coat of arms—marking a historic step in affirming statehood and identity during the country’s most difficult times. The flag featured a white background…
Though officially replaced in 1998 by a new flag imposed by the High Representative, the lily flag lives on in the hearts of many as a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s enduring spirit and historical continuity.

🇵🇰 The Indian criminal army has destroyed a Mosque and killed civilians (including one child) on Pakistani territory. Criminals are the same whether they are zionists in occupied Palestine or Hindutva in occupied Kashmir. I have no need to comment more, we are waiting for the Pakistani retaliation and I hope it is a good one

🇧🇦🇵🇰 The Grand Mufti (Reisu-l-ulema) of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Husein ef. Kavazović, has condemned the attack by the Republic of India on the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
In addition to denouncing the attack, the Grand Mufti stated that "nothing can justify war and that all disputes should be resolved through dialogue and in accordance with international law."
Kavazović warned of the dangerous trend of spreading global conflicts and the increasingly frequent use of force as a means of resolving disputes between states.
He appealed to all responsible world leaders to learn from the past and turn toward building a "sacred peace," instead of igniting new "holy wars," according to MINA.

Should I open a TikTok account for this channel to post the content that’s already available here? I’ve never posted anything on that platform, so it would be a new experience. If yes, do you have any advice?

How Operation "Sindoor" is going for India 🇮🇳 😀

Tomorrow is Victory Day (May 9th), a day when all the nauseating, virtue-less, deplorable leaders of Europe will gather with pre-prepared speeches and comments, patting each other on the back and watching parades because fascism in Europe was 'defeated'—except it wasn’t. It continued with Franco and Fascist Spain up until the 1970s, and while it lost its political grip, it is still very much alive today.
It’s a day when they all lie to themselves and tell each other that they’ve learned, that they won’t make the same mistakes—while in fact, they never stopped making them. The darkest hour never left us; Europe is still in darkness, and its grand suicidal spiral is coming to an end—not with a big bang, but with a loud fart. The only light that ever existed on this vile continent is Islam, and they cannot stomach that fact.

🇧🇦 9 May 1993 – Mostar Under Siege 🇭🇷
On the very day the world marked their so called Victory over Fascism, Mostar faced one of its darkest moments against fascism.
At dawn, HVO and Croatian Army forces launched a full-scale attack on the city. The eastern part of Mostar was shelled heavily, and over the radio, an HVO proclamation was broadcast:
Bosniak civilians were ordered to hang white sheets from their windows.
ARBiH soldiers were told to surrender.
Despite being outnumbered and poorly armed, the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) held the front lines.
Mostar and thousands of civilians—locals and refugees—were completely surrounded.
Thousands, mainly Bosniaks, were imprisoned in camps run by "Herceg-Bosna".
The HVO also attacked the "Vranica" building, the command of the 41st Brigade and 4th Corps. On 10 May, after a heroic stand, 13 ARBiH soldiers attempting a breakout were captured.
