massacre / slaughter / mass killing > Bosnia > Srebrenica Massacre        UK / USA

 

over a number of days in July 1995,

Bosnian Serb forces systematically murdered

around 8,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)

men and boys.

 

It was the worst crime of the Bosnian war,

and remains the only massacre on European soil

since the second world war to be ruled a genocide.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

 

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
