Shahbaz Sharif, who was re-elected as prime minister in the vote held in the National Assembly in Pakistan, officially took office today by taking the oath at a ceremony held in the presence of President Arif Alvi at the Presidential Office in Islamabad.

In the general election on February 8, independent candidates supported by the imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan became the most seat-winning party by winning 92 seats, and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz led by Sharif came in second in the election by winning 79 seats. All parties failed to reach the required number of 134 seats to form the government, and a coalition government was formed by PML-N and the Pakistan People’s Party.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
