The forced expulsion of one ethnic group by another, particularly of Muslims by Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992. The term has also been used to describe the killing of Hutus by Tutsis in Rwanda 1994.
To further their aim of creating a Greater Serbia, Bosnian Serb forces compelled thousands of non-Serbs, Croats, and Muslims to abandon their homes, allowing Serb families from other parts of the former Yugoslavia to occupy them. Wholesale slaughter and other human-rights violations were also allegedly used to implement this policy, which created nearly 700,000 refugees. Similar tactics were used by the Nazis against the Jews in World War II. + prikaži više
