A Bosnian woman who has arrived from Srebrenica sits quietly sobbing outside a refugee shelter in Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 1995 no ethnic group in Bosnia remained untouched by anguish and upheaval. The Serbian conquest of the enclaves of Srebrenica and Zepa - which underscored UN impotence to guarantee their safety - triggered a mass exodus to the last remaining Muslim strongholds. Faced with a Croatian offensive, Serb inhabitants of the Krajina region also packed into trucks and tractors in an attempt to reach Serbia, and many Bosnian Croats sought refuge in Croatia.
