Kosova Task Force, USA
Action Alert
4.11.99


While we have all witnessed hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring out 
of Kosova, there are still an alarming number of Kosovars stranded in the 
mountains unable to escape to safety.  

50 cities and towns in Kosova have been leveled to the ground, forcing 
the citizens to flee into the mountains to escape the murdering Serb 
army.  They are attempting to survive without any food or shelter in 
frigid climate, absolutely uncertain of their fate.

As yet the NATO Alliance has not agreed to send in ground troops to 
combat the Serb army nor to provide safe escort to civilian victims 
stranded in the mountains.  

Kosova's internal situation will undoubtedly result in the death of 
thousands unless those people stranded in mountains have some means of 
being sustained until they can be saved or are given means to save 
themselves.

On Monday, call the White House (202-456-1111) to demand the following:
Immediate airdrops of food (at the very least) to genocide victims.

With more than 70% of public opinion in favor of taking measures to help 
these victims, it would be irresponsible not to continue putting pressure 
on our representatives.  

The second call you make on Monday should be to call your representatives 
(202-224-3121) asking them specifically: "What will you do to stop 
genocide now?!"

The Kosova Task Force has sent all Masjids in America a poster which 
lists the numbers of the President, your Congresspersons, and important 
media contacts . It is a blue and white poster customized for your Masjid 
area to be displayed in a prominent place. If you do not see it in your 
Masjid, please call us with your zip code and we will mail it to you.

***Do you have a Kosova Room in your Masjid or the organization you are 
working with? If not, contact us for details on how to get one started.***
