Chechnya³

NATO airstrikes came after several years of genocide–a real one –and forced Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic, to withdraw from Kosovo. In the case of Chechnya there was no clear leader who could acquiesce to Russia. “Between July 12 and 17 (1995) more than 7,000 unarmed Muslim men and boys were executed by forces under Bosnian Serb control. Many were transported en masse to sites near Srebrenica and then killed; others died when they tried to escape after being captured.”
