Today, the headquarters of the Palestinian Community Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially inaugurated in the heart of Baščaršija. This represents an important step in strengthening the community, preserving identity, and empowering future activities. This space will serve as a place for gatherings, education, and the promotion of culture and the history of Palestine. It will also act as a bridge for understanding and solidarity between the Palestinian and Bosnian peoples. 🇧🇦🇵🇸

After the criminal murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in what is now the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniaks would find themselves fighting against the imperial powers of the Entente within the ranks of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman armies. They served with admirable courage and efficiency on the Eastern Front against the Russians, the Alpine Front against the Italians, at Çanakkale (Gallipoli), and as far south as Jerusalem, Gaza, and Baghdad against the British. May their souls be blessed.

📜 Edhem Mulabdić: A Forgotten Giant of Bosniak Culture

Edhem Mulabdić (1862–1954) was one of the most influential figures of the Bosniak cultural and national revival at the turn of the 20th century. A writer, educator, and politician, he played a crucial role in shaping Bosniak identity in a time of major political and social transformations. His novel Zeleno busenje (Green Sod) was the first Bosniak novel, a literary milestone that secured his place in history. But literature was only part of his mission—Mulabdić dedicated his life to education, journalism, and cultural development.

He founded newspapers, worked as a school inspector, and served as a representative in the Yugoslav Muslim Organization. He fought tirelessly to modernize and uplift his people. Yet, despite his contributions, his fate was marked by injustice.

⚖️ A Life of Achievement, a Death in Poverty

After WWII, the new Yugoslav communist regime turned on Mulabdić. He was branded a collaborator for attending a single dinner hosted by the NDH leadership—an invitation he had little choice but to accept in those dark times. The consequences were devastating. He was put on trial, denied his rightful pension, and cast into poverty.

While former Chetniks were generously granted pensions, Mulabdić—one of Bosnia’s greatest intellectuals—was left to struggle. Proud and principled, he refused to beg for mercy from the communist authorities. Instead, he pursued legal action against the state for unlawfully stripping him of his pension.

Few dared to support him publicly. Friends like writer Rizo Ramić stood by his side, but many who should have defended him remained silent, afraid for their own fates. The betrayal of his fellow intellectuals and political elites only deepened the injustice.

🕯️ A Lonely Farewell

On January 29, 1954, Edhem Mulabdić passed away in Sarajevo, largely forgotten and abandoned. His death was barely acknowledged—Oslobođenje published the news only on February 5, after his funeral had already taken place. A handful of friends, scraping together whatever little they had, ensured he did not die in total destitution. Historian Hamdija Kreševljaković provided him with moral and financial support until the very end.

Yet, the regime did not forgive him. His name was erased from newspapers, history books, and public discourse in Yugoslavia. His contributions to Bosniak culture were deliberately silenced.

Today, we remember Edhem Mulabdić not only as a literary pioneer but as a man who stood by his principles, even in the face of persecution. His story is one of resilience, injustice, and the enduring struggle of intellectuals who refuse to bow to tyranny.

Let us not forget him.

How Bosniaks Built One of Turkey’s First Factories That Conquered the World

Founded in 1890 by the Čengić, Begović, Spahović, Salkić, and Korjenić families, the Karamürsel Mensucat Fabrikası became one of Turkey’s oldest private industrial institutions, employing numerous Bosniaks. Recognized for their contributions to industrial development, the factory’s founders, executives, and workers were rewarded by Sultan Abdulhamid II for their efforts in expanding and improving production. The factory played a crucial role in the Ottoman Empire’s economy, producing high-quality woolen fabrics that clothed the entire Ottoman army and earned recognition across Europe. However, during the Greek occupation of Karamürsel in 1920, the entire city, including the factory, was burned down, and many workers were brutally executed on October 26. When the occupiers withdrew, the once-thriving factory was left in ruins, with only its chimney standing—today, a silent witness to a remarkable history of resilience and achievement.
