Buckeye · Answer 2

The former Yugoslavia

Explanation:

The United States and many other countries sent forces into the former Yugoslavia territory in the mid-1990s to stop the Bosnians after they killed over 8,000 Bosniaks at the end of the Bosnian War.

The Bosniaks were mostly Bosnian Muslims and the Bosnians targeted mostly men and boys.

The genocide took place mostly around the towns of Sebrenica and Zapa in 1995.

In addition to the murders, the Bosnians forced the migration of over 25 000 people away from their home in the process of ethnic cleansing.
