Riada talks to Dr. Emir Suljagic, a survivor of Bosnian genocide and director of Srebrenica Memorial Center

Dignified Resilience with Riada Akyol

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Emir Suljagic, who is currently at the forefront of the official efforts for memorializing and preserving the truth about Bosnian genocide. In a candid conversation, he opens up about his past personal experiences that shaped him, about present challenges and future visions as well. He also shares how important his mother was to him, and why he doesn't get attached to material things in his life. I have to add a caveat for this particular episode: my guest joined me from his beloved, remote village in Eastern Bosnia where he was at that moment. He did warn me about the potential sound issues, but we decided to still record the conversation and then publish it as it is. We wanted to remain authentic and committed to producing meaningful content in circumstances that we found ourselves in that day. So, I also apologize for certain sound issues, though I hope you benefit from this unique opportunity to hear a man who unreservedly offers his views about politics and life. A transcribed version is also available on my YouTube channel.
