 Donations Needed to help Bosnian Victims.
" Ahmet m. kadioglu"

I am an international student at St. Michael's
College and I am studying master's.
There is a war going on in Yugoslavia where the population
is having a hard time copingwith difficulties. The republic of
Bosnia and herzegovina consists of three communities.,
70% of the republic has voted for independence, where the
elections were held in accordance with UN observers.The Serb
Minority rioted and began ethnic clensing. The Majority Bosnians
are caught under fire, almost every day people are being
killed or uprooted. The biggest tragedy is that the children
are also victims of this war. i WOULD LIKE TO INVITE
EVERY BIODY TO HELP THE BOSNIAN PEOPLE. May be we could help
save a life. The Bosnian Embassy has opened an account for
people in need. Donations can be made
through the office of campus ministry, SMC WINOOSKI PARK COLCHESTER
VT05439 USA.Thank you for your help,

Tel:802-655-2000 contact Father Mike Cronogue or
tel:802-655-6518 contact Ahmet Murat Kadioglu.

Choke point 

The ECONOMIST DEC 11 1992

Like stone in gullet,the Muslim enclave
around Srebrenica is choking Bosnian Serbs.
Bosnian Serb Fighters are dying in their
hundreds.Histerical women point to graves
and wail, they were dead by torture.
No man's land between Bratunac and Srebrenica
is only 600 meters wide. But these might be the
two countries seperated by an infinity of hate.
To distance themselves from anything Bosnian
the Serbs have taken the words out and just call
themselves Serbian Republic. Since May Srebrenica
has been without electricity running water and
communications with outside world.  In Srebrenica
hospital operations are carried out without anaestetics
Sheets are stained dark with bloodbecause there is no
detergent, the UN so far did not provide medicine.
Unlike Sarajevo Srebrenica has the potential
to live long time Surrounded by fields and villages
the rural enclaves are living off its modest stocks of
corn, oats and livestock. After eight months of war
siege and daily bombardment its people look surprisingly
robust. All along Drina valley, in Eastern Bosnia the villages
were emptied by Serb ethnic cleansing or Muslim attack
On the Serb side thousands have fled to Serbia," If the Muslims
knew how few we were here then they will take this area
immediately. According to a Serb intelligence officer
siege of Sarajevo now continues, not to capture the town
but out of the fear that  were the siege be lifted
to be lifted, Bosnian Forces will break out and go
in to offensive esides now Serbs want another town
not previously  in their lists
on their lists.WELCOME TO THE SIEGE OF TUZLA!
