The translation is a bit rough but it is understandable. 🇧🇦⚜

One common sentiment that I've come across while living my short life in Bosnia is that, during the aggression against us and even to this day, we have only ourselves to rely on—that we can count only on ourselves for protection and that our existence depends solely on our own strength. While this is true to some extent, given that Bosnia was besieged from all sides and that Bosniaks persevered through these trials with armed resistance, it is not the whole truth.

When Bosniaks emerged on the world stage after a hundred years of oppression, they did so at a unipolar moment—when the United States was the sole great power on Earth. That same undisputed policeman of the world placed its knee on our collective neck through UN embargoes while we were at war, hoping we would simply run out of air and die if the pressure was maintained long enough. That knee was lifted through the pressure and lobbying of Muslim powers worldwide, who went out of their way to help a people they knew little about.

The United States, at the peak of its strength, was ultimately pushed to lift the weapons embargo and intervene to end the war in Bosnia—not out of some moral obligation, but because it was driven into a corner and had no other choice.

That same situation is unfolding in Palestine, in Gaza, once again—only people cannot see through the mist of propaganda, personal biases, and ideological narratives. Now, why do I say all of this?

Because it has become clear to me that the concept of the nation-state is outdated. The power of a people does not lie in their ability to maintain or expand the borders of their country, but in their ability to transcend them and exert influence. Just like human beings, countries do not stand alone in this world; they rely on one another, they need one another—because alone, they are weak and can be picked off easily, but together, they are strong.

Gaza is not under siege. The so-called nation of Israel—which, in reality, is just an American apartheid colony—is the one being put under siege by the collective Muslim powers of the world. People simply do not see the noose tightening around the neck of the Netanyahu administration because their attention spans are weak, and they fail to view the world objectively. The Palestinian people exist and will continue to exist upon their own land. They will return to the land from which they were driven, Alhamdulillah for that.
The state of Palestine is not alone—it is part of a collective of states whose influence will sustain and rebuild it. Just as human beings form alliances, relationships, and bonds, so do nations. And Israel possesses none of these things. The apartheid colony is nothing more than a Western Frankenstein—alone, isolated, and despised wherever its settlers go. Such a so-called country has no future. It will soon be placed on the operating table and put under the control of other global powers. That is the inevitable outcome. It is set in stone.

The coat of arms of Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, as seen in Hrvoje’s Missal (c. 1407), represents one of the most powerful noblemen in medieval Bosnia. Serving under three kings, Hrvoje skillfully navigated between the Kingdom of Hungary and the rising Ottoman Empire.

A dramatic episode from his time is depicted in The Campaign of Hungarians Against Bosnia from the Chronicum Hungarorum (1488). The illustration portrays events from 1415 when Hungarian forces, led by Emperor Sigismund, launched an attack on Bosnia. Duke Hrvoje, with Ottoman support, decisively defeated the Hungarians at Lašva. In the aftermath, Hungarian-Croatian nobleman Pavao Čupor was captured, sewn alive into a buffalo hide, and cast into the Bosna River—a grim reminder of the brutal nature of medieval warfare.

🇧🇦🇵🇸🇮🇱 Bosnia and Herzegovina has joined a global legal effort to hold accountable individuals suspected of war crimes in Gaza. The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has announced the formation of Global 195, a worldwide legal coalition committed to pursuing legal action against “Israeli” and dual-national individuals involved in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
This unprecedented initiative spans multiple countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Malaysia, Türkiye, Norway, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It aims to activate domestic and international legal mechanisms to apply for private arrest warrants and initiate legal proceedings wherever suspects may be found.

The scope of Global 195 includes individuals who have fought in the "Israel" Defense Forces (IDF), as well as military and political leaders responsible for violations of international law.

Using an extensive criminal evidence library compiled over the past 18 months, Global 195 will:
✅ Submit criminal complaints to national law enforcement agencies.
✅ Initiate private prosecutions in national courts against suspects.
✅ Ensure that war criminals can no longer evade justice by traveling to friendly jurisdictions.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the memory of international justice for war crimes remains deeply significant, this legal action is a powerful reminder that impunity is not an option.

ICJP Director Tayab Ali emphasized:
"By activating domestic legal mechanisms across multiple jurisdictions, we ensure that those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza can no longer hide. Justice must be pursued, no matter how powerful the perpetrators."

Early rainy spring at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦

On this day, March 23, 1995, one of the greatest victories of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was achieved with the liberation of Vlašić and the raising of the lily flag on its highest peak.

The fighters of the 7th Corps, led by General Mehmed Alagić, in cooperation with units of the 3rd Corps, the 1st Corps, and the Guard Brigade of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, carried out the remarkable operation "Domet 1", liberating the highest peak of Vlašić (Opaljenik), the radio relay center at an altitude of 1,933 meters. European army generals had considered this position to be impregnable.

In the summer of 1994, while looking at the height of Opaljenik on Vlašić, Alija Izetbegović asked General Mehmed Alagić,

"Can we liberate this?"
The general replied to President Izetbegović, "Either we take it, or we won’t be there."
The president asked, "How, Mehmed?"
The general confidently responded, "For what awaits us, I am already making preparations—digging shelters, cutting tree trunks—and to overcome everything, we must wait for the snowfall."

Preparations for the liberation of Vlašić took place at an altitude exceeding 1,500 meters, under extremely harsh weather conditions, including snowstorms. Despite this, the fighters' motivation to fight grew stronger each day. Commander Alagić made the decision to launch the attack on March 19-20, 1995, in the early morning hours. That morning, a powerful storm swept across Vlašić, but even that did not affect the 7th Corps. The attack began precisely as planned, at 4:00 AM.

Considering the mined terrain, deep snow, extreme cold, difficult topography, and available weaponry compared to the enemy, the liberation of Vlašić is regarded from a purely military perspective as the greatest operation in Europe after World War II.

The most important objective was achieved: halting the aggression against Bihać.

It remains one of the most famous and significant victories of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, still studied today in military academies around the world.

📜 The Legacy of Sufism in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦

For over 600 years, dervishes (Sufis) and their tekkes (lodges) have been woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their presence dates back to the arrival of Islam, even before the Ottoman conquest.

🏛️ Sarajevo itself is believed to have been founded around the Mevlevi tekke built by Isa-beg Ishaković in 1462 on the banks of the Miljacka River.

🌍 Dervishes were teachers, lawyers, artisans, and scholars, playing a key role in spreading Islam throughout Bosnia and the Balkans. The Ottomans formally established tekkes, including the Mevlevi tekke in Sarajevo, which, despite being destroyed in the war, remains a symbol of Bosnian Sufi heritage.

🏞️ Other famous tekkes include:
🔹 Blagaj Tekke on the Buna River, once used by Bektashis, now run by the Naqshbandi order.
🔹 Banja Luka Tekke, home to Naqshbandi Sufis.
