*** Stop Macedonia from aiding Genocide: Treat Kosova Refugees better!
*** March Against Genocide: Saturday, April 10th


Macedonia would not let them in. Tens of thousands of Albanian were 
choking from disease and hunger on the border. Now they have disappeared. 
Where have they gone?

While Serbs were driving out Albanians from Kosova, Macedonia was making 
sure that they were treated in the worst possible manner.

The United Nations and other Western aid agencies have accused Macedonia 
of using bureaucratic delays to slow the influx of both refugees and aid.

What¹s more, Macedonian authorities have also prevented the reunion of 
any arriving refugees with their own relatives in Macedonia. 

Yugoslavia is kidnapping Kosovars from its border to an unknown future. 
They have closed the main border crossing from Kosova into Albania early 
Wednesday and the flow of refugees, which had been running at 30,000 to 
40,000 a day, was dramatically halted. We pray that these refugees are 
not being put in another concentration camp.

Please call the Macedonian embassy in Washington, DC to request more 
humane treatment of refugees in Macedonia.

Chief of mission: Ambassador Ljubica Z. Acevska
Embassy: 3050 K Street, NW, Suite 210, Washington, DC 20007 
Telephone: (202) 337-3063
