17th presentation - Bosnia

Salaam to all. Yaya here. As always, the review of a classmate's informative presentation has to be posted.

The 17th presentation was done by sr. Umi Khairani and the topic was a country called Bosnia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (Latin: Bosna i Hercegovina, Cyrillic: Босна и Херцеговина) is a country on the Balkan peninsula of Southern Europe. The country is home to three ethnic "constituent peoples": Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats.

The topic presented was very interesting and infamous because I recalled what happened to Bosnia caused an uproar on the Muslim community in the whole world. I was too naive and innocent at that time so I didn't understand much of what was going on.
By sr. Umi's presentation I finally got the big picture of the tragedy that befell on the Muslim society there. Even though I arrived in class late that day, the moment I sat down I was pulled and absorbed into her presentation. It was brief and easily understandable.

About the presenter herself, sr. Umi was very passionate when giving the presentation. her voice was loud and very clear but i could detect the difficulties pronouncing the words as English is not her 1st language after all.

All in all, a very eye-opening presentation. A job well done. Muslims all over the world, be aware of what is happening to your brothers and sisters in other countries. Be thankful of what you have and that you are not suffering as they are in Bosnia.

I found a fantastic site that gave a lot of info about countries that have suffered from genocides. Here's the link, http://www.ppu.org.uk/genocide/g_bosnia.html
