The siege lasted three times longer than the Siege of Stalingrad and a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad.On 6 February 1994, a day after the first Markale marketplace massacre, UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali formally requested NATO to confirm that air strikes would be carried out immediately.
