White armband day memorial in Sarajevo

White armband day memorial in Sarajevo

Taken on 2019-05-31

The picture was taken during the commemoration of "White armband"day, which remembers the victims of the war in the Northwestern city of Prijedor. The event always sparks controversy and tension between different victim groups, citizens and members of different ethnic communities. In this particular case, the AntiDayton group set up this memorial in Veliki Park (Sarajevo) showcasing pictures and names of the victims of war in Prijedor. White armband day is commemorated on May 30 as it was on this date in 1992 where authorities in Prijedor instructed for citizens "not loyal to the Serb Republic of Bosnia-Heryegovina" to display a white flag at the entrance of their homes. This was followed by ethnic cleansing of Bosniak and Croat citizens in the area.

The Ba'ath Brigades, also known as the Ba'ath Battalions, are a volunteer militia made up of Syrian Ba'ath Party members, almost entirely Sunni Muslims, loyal to the Syrian Government of Bashar al-Assad. It was set up in Aleppo under the command of Hilal Hilal, the current Assistant Regional Secretary, after rebels took most of the eastern half of Aleppo in summer 2012. Initially, the Ba'ath Brigades were used to guard government buildings and other key installations in the city, but their role has expanded as their strength has grown from 5,000 members in November 2012 to 7,000 in December 2013. Units have since also formed in Latakia and Tartus. At the end of 2013, the Brigades began deploying in Damascus, tasked with manning checkpoints and conducting "light logistical operations". They spearheaded the assault on the Old City of Aleppo in early 2014. The Ba'ath Battalions participated in lifting the three year siege at Kuweires military airbase alongside the elite Cheetah Forces, and National Defence Forces. Featured in this photo report are images of the Baath Brigade's 'Kataib Al Salamiyah' undergoing training in Salamiyah, Homs.
