The systemic failure of the United Nations to intervene effectively during the Bosnian War remains one of the most tragic chapters of the 20th century. This episode explores the UNPROFOR mandate and military failure, examining how peacekeepers were restricted from stopping the carnage while civilians were slaughtered in plain sight.
We delve into the controversy of General Louis Mackenzie, whose "equal blame" narrative shaped global perception, and the diplomatic shortcomings of Boutros Boutros-Ghali’s leadership, which many Bosniaks viewed as a betrayal. The video also provides a harrowing look at the systemic atrocities and concentration camps such as Omska, where the reality of genocide was captured by international journalists. Finally, we analyze the Lasva Valley Campaign and the Croat-Bosniak conflict, detailing the horrific massacre at Ahmići and the shifting alliances that left the Bosniak people fighting for survival on two fronts.
