Those Brits that read the lovely pink paper Financial Times know this, it was in the Tueday, April 16, 2002 edition. Perhaps, Americans will see it on their way to the funny pages. A quick synopsis.

Dutch Cabinet Resigns

The Dutch cabinet resigned on Tuesday, after two ministers forced the hand of premier Wim Kok by saying they would quit over the country's role in the Srebrenica massacre.

This follows a report last week commissioned by the government into how its troops failed to defend the Muslim enclave in Bosnia against a 1995 incursion by Serb forces that left 7,000 inhabitants dead.

After a cabinet meeting lasting nearly four hours, Mr Kok said he was going to see Queen Beatrix to hand in their collective resignation.

At least seven-and-a half thousand Bosnian Muslims missing, presumed dead. Some six thousand of them were the victims of mass executions. That is the dreadful outcome of the events following the invasion and capture of the Srebrenica enclave - an official Safe Area.

At least seven-and-a-half thousand Bosnian Muslims went missing; it is virtually certain that all of them were killed. Around six thousand of these people were slaughtered in mass executions. This is the sad balance of the events of July 1995 that followed the Bosnian-Serbian army's capture of Srebrenica, which had been declared a United Nations 'Safe Area' in 1993. These atrocities have evoked deep emotions.

Dutch troops (Dutchbat) were present at the fall of Srebrenica. Therefore, the ensuing debate was particularly heated in the Netherlands. There were numerous uncertainties about exactly what had occurred. But, the ruling party of the Dutch government took the "hit."
