Ratko Mladić, the infamous Serbian general who was serving a life sentence for genocide committed during the Bosnian war, has died in prison in The Hague.
Mladić had been one of the main architects of the policy of ethnic cleansing during the Bosnian war. He was convicted of genocide for orchestrating the 1995 killing of at least 8,000 Muslims in the UN-designated “safe area” Srebrenica, the worst massacre in Europe since the second world war.
Mladić, who was nicknamed the “Butcher of Bosnia”, had been in ill health after having a series of strokes.
A UN international tribunal confirmed Mladić’s death, saying he had died in hospital in The Hague earlier in the day.
Hey, remember when genocide* had consequences?

They killed Muslims and the whole Genocide was facilitated by NATO. But at least they got the fall guy which is something.

Am I correct in thinking that calling him a “Bosnian Serb” is pretty wild?
Not really, “Bosna i Hercegovina” (“Bosnia and Herzegovina”) the country, is made up of two federal entities, “Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine” (“Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina”), and “Republika Srpska” (“Serb Republic”). The former contains most of the Bosniaks and Croatians, the latter most of the Serbs. Ratko was the Supreme Commander of the Army of Republika Srpska. This means that he is, indeed a Bosnian Serb. It seems a bit tricky, but Bosnian refers to everyone in the country, the largest ethnic group is called Bosniak.
It used to all be Yugoslavia but there were some different peoples on land on both sides. Bosnians on what’s now Serbia and vice versa.
Oh yeah I know that; met a bunch of yugo’s in prison and calling a bosnian a serb could get your ass kicked.
