About this ebook
Srebrenica - the Dutch soldiers’ contemptuous name for Srebrenica was Goat Country, scene of one of the worst massacres in post-war Europe. The United Nations persuaded the Muslims in Srebrenica to disarm, having first assured them that they would be protected by the Dutch Army. Result: up to eight thousand Muslim men were massacred by the Serbs. This fairy tale is inspired by the official Dutch Army report on the events in the Srebrenica enclave – it is all there in the report, right down to the last piece of soft tissue toilet paper.

Goat Country
The Dutch soldiers’ contemptuous name for Srebrenica was Goat Country. Srebrenica was a part of Bosnia populated by Muslims, and in 1995 it was the scene of one of the worst massacres in post-war Europe.
In the course of the Bosnian civil war the countryside surrounding Srebrenica was occupied by Serbs. The United Nations persuaded the Muslims in Srebrenica to disarm, having first assured them that they would be protected by the Dutch Army. Result: up to eight thousand Muslim men and boys were massacred by the Serbs. This fairy tale is inspired by the official Dutch Army report on events in the Srebrenica enclave – and it’s all there in the report, right down to the last piece of soft tissue toilet paper…
