(ANSA-AFP) - NEZUK, JUL 9 - Thousands of people began
marching on Monday towards Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia to mark
the anniversary of the 1995 genocide, the worst massacre in
Europe since World War II. The annual march covers a
100-kilometre (62-mile) route to Srebrenica from the village of
Nezuk, where the first survivors arrived. Bosnian Serb forces
captured Srebrenica -- a UN protected enclave at the time -- on
July 11, 1995, and killed 8,000 Muslim men and boys. The
atrocity was deemed genocide by two international courts.
