A decade ago, Brussels and the entire country stood still. 🇧🇪🕯️

In the silence that followed the attacks, the city found its voice through resilience.

Today, we honour the victims, their families, and every person who continues to carry the weight of that day.

Collective strength helps us to heal.

We will never forget.

People in the comments really be like "BuT wHaT aBoUt ThOsE oThEr BaD tHiNgS?!111!"

Guys, two things can be bad at once.
A humanitarian crisis happening right now does not cancel out a terror attack from the past. And since it is the "anniversary" of the bombings it's not really in "bad taste" but simply relevant at todays date

@ABT554 @EUCommission Because Europe are a bunch of hypocrites that pretend to cry for these victims, while they support the killing of thousands somewhere else (meaning middle east Brown people who apparently can be killed without commemoration days) this is why.
Those people died Because western governments where doing what they best do in Iraq, Afghanistan etc...

It's politics, there will always be a degree of hollowness there.
But at least showing you remember and acknowledge something that was traumatizing and terrible to many is better than just ignoring the thing entirely.

If "you can't acknowledge a bad thing, if you don't acknowledge all the other bad things too" would be the standard, nobody would ever bother to show compassion about anything because somebody would alway be like "BuT wHaT aBoUt ThIs ThInG?!"
