We're immensely proud to share with you "Airborne," a new story by @enaselimo.bsky.social:
www.womenwritethebalkans.com/essays/airbo...

"According to Bosnian documents, he is a traitor. According to Turkish documents, he is a spy. According to American documents, he is an alien. According to them all, he is to be put in no position to help others or himself."
Ena Selimović: Airborne

Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

so we set out to study the coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims by German press systematically!

The resulting study 'Hierarchies in Death' was just published #OA by Peacebuilding www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

An example of the inadvertent camaraderie you'll find in this publication, wherein Mela Žuljević mentioned my piece and I mentioned hers—completely by chance. 💙🥹

Women* Write the Balkans Community

"From the initial essay, Ena Selimović's extraordinary story “Counting Change,” Women* Write the Balkans made a place magnificently new and curious while speaking closely to what I have experienced.

When I got the chance to contribute, the editors read with so much care and imagination - each version brought rounds of pleasure, challenges and trust, fully appropriate for the story of Hercegovina Kalifornija."

Yesterday a group of survivors of the Bosnian genocide were apparently required by the President of the German Parliament, Julia Klöckner (CDU), to remove memorial pins they wore because these pins were “political” and therefore violated the Parliament’s clothing regulations.

Gestern war der 30. Gedenktag an den Genozid an den Bosniak:innen & der erste internationale Gedenktag.
Zu dem Anlass waren ich & ein weiterer Genozidüberlebender, sowie einige bosnische Diplomat:innen im deutschen Bundestag eingeladen.
Was folgte war extrem traumatisierend.

There is no 'remembering Srebrenica' without remembering the basic political reality that the West rewarded the perpetrators with almost half of Bosnian territory. The genocide is not resolved, it's not the past. The sheer existence of 'RS' is a continuation of the genocide.

My wife found a map from The Technocracy, the 1930's group Elon Musk's Nazi-sympathizing grandfather was involved in, that explains Trump's desire to take over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal. Behold the Technate of America.

Thread.
