17th-bosNia HerZegOviNa- Umi















BoSniA hErzEgoVina
Presenter: UMI KHAIRANI ABU KASIM

Bosnia.. when madam said that umi is going to present about this country, automatically I remember one of my classmate in my halaqah group. She is from Bosnia and she told the class what she experience in her country during the Bosnian War( 1992-1995). At that time, she was only 6 years old. She told us that they (the Bosnian) live in the small room with 30-40 people for 2-3 years just for save their life. They were suffered during that time. Many people were killed, blood are everywhere, bombing and…( she cried before end the story and I have no idea what happened after that).

Emmm.. let we go through about Bosnia. Sarajevo is the capital city where the major religion there is Islam. They use Bosnian, Serbian and Crotian as the official language. Bosnia has gone through “the bloody history” started with the fell of Ottoman Empire in 1683 followed by cleaning the nation from Turks on 1807. 1912-1914 was the period of Balkan Wars and less that 30 years after the tragic war, the Bosnian was faced with another war; cleansed of all non-Serbian elements. This war was not only to killed the Bosnian but to ‘abolished’ the ethnic from the world!! Again, the Bosnian was faced with another war in 1992-1995, the Bosnian War. Same as other country that we have discuss before, it is all about POWER. The law of jungle- the strongest and the richest will always be at the top and conquer the world.

Umi…hemmmm.. What can I comment on her presentation. The good part of her presentation is she began her presentation with a good introduction. She also has good voice projection and flow. When she talked about how the Serbs treat the Bosnian, I felt so lucky being a Malaysian. She really felt what she presented and has the passion on the topic. Congratulation!! But there is something that she can improve on. In the middle of the presentation, she just read from the slide and looked nervous. And one thing that is really obvious is she didn’t show us the FLAG!! Maybe she forgot to include it in her slide..overall, well done. 4 stars for UMI KHAIRANI..
