Newsline - 6 July 2010: Three Dutch military officials may face prosecution related to the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. Dutch directness is driving expats out of Amsterdam. And in South Africa football's also being used to raise awarenes about HIV/AIDS.

 


Srebrenica massacre prosecution

Three Dutch military officials may be prosecuted over their alleged complicity in the fall of the Bosnian enclave Srebrenica in 1995. Thousands of Muslim men and boys were executed by Bosnian Serbs, after they were forced to leave the Dutch military compound safehaven. Relatives of two of the victims have now filed a lawsuit against three of the Dutch soldiers who were responsible for the compound. Listen to an interview with Liesbeth Zegveld, the attorney representing the families.

Alienated expats flee Amsterdam
Many expats who move to Amsterdam get so fed up with the Dutch tendency towards directness that they pack up and leave the city within a year. That’s the finding of the Amsterdam International Crossings Project (AICP), which was set up to make sure international workers feel more welcome and are offered the services they need. Listen to an interview with Jack Steijn from the AICP.

The HIV World Cup
With Ghana's quarter final round elimination from the World Cup, the last remaining African squad left the tournament. But six other African football teams are still playing in a very different football tournament in South Africa. The medical charity Doctors Without Borders organised its own tournament in Johannesburg to raise awareness about HIV. Listen to a report by our South Africa correspondent Elles van Gelder.
