17TH - BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA


On Friday last month, another student was presented another Muslim country that has assigned to her which is BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA. The capital city of Bosnia Herzegovina is Sarajevo (READ: Sarayevo). The ethnic groups were dominated by Bosniak, followed by Serb, Croat. Surprisingly, the majority of Bosnians are Muslims with the percentage of 40 percent. The tragedy that haunted the Bosnians begins when one of the ethnic group: the Serbs were doing what so called an ethnic cleansing in 1994 towards the Bosnians. The main purpose was to totally wipe out the Bosnians histories from their own homeland. To be frank, I know nothing about Bosnia before, but because of this presentation as well as the presenter’s and our lecturer’s explanation, I have opened up my mind to think ☺☺. From what the two of them have said, the Serbs were terribly cruel towards the Bosnians. Women and girls were raped many times in a day and most of the time they were raped in front of their family members. They were also asked to rape their own mothers and daughters. The Bosnians were survived mainly because the United Nations through NATO had an intervention and sent its troops to curb this problem.
Regarding the presentation, Umi Khairani was the one who presented this topic. Well I’m not sure about her introduction because when she present I was came late =P. When I came and listened to her presentation, she was terribly nervous and too afraid of something that she doesn’t even know what it was. She got the confidence and has a good voice projection. Even though she prepared all the staffs earlier, she seems a bit lost while remembering certain points. Umi’s also lacks in hand movements but be able to control her posture.
In my observation, it was good because she has done research before presenting the topic by reading many books and articles from the internet but not from Wiki, I guess.
She was expecting bucks of questions from the class and due to this reason she has prepared the answers for any possible questions that might be asked in her small notes. It was extraordinary thing, I might say, because people are usually using the notes to refresh their memory about the information flow but not her. “Sedia payung sebelum hujan”.
Overall, Umi’s presentation was quite good, according to our lecturer; at the end of her presentation she was “sad”, was it because of the Bosnians or was it because of her presentation that she claimed to be “teruk”.
