From kosova at jps.net Thu May 3 15:43:52 2001 From: kosova at jps.net (kosova at jps.net) Date: Thu May 3 15:43:52 2001 Subject: [Prishtina-E] Elusive truth of genocide in Srebrenica Message-ID: FYI: Elusive truth of genocide in Srebrenica http://www.mediamonitors.net/sarhadi1.html by Zia Sarhadi The arrest last month in Serbia of Slobodan Milosevic on corruption charges has aroused hopes that he might one day be brought to the Hague to face war crimes charges. He has already been indicted as a war criminal. Similarly, hopes have risen about getting to the bottom of what really transpired in Srebrenica in July 1995, now that two Serbian war criminals, Dragan Obrenovic and general Radislav Krstic, have been brought before the Hague tribunal. The chances of Milosevic being tried for war crimes may be slim, but they still appear better than those of finding out the truth about the complicity of French and Dutch officials in the genocide of Srebrenica, let alone that of the UN as a whole. The massacre in Srebrenica was facilitated by the Dutch contingent which was responsible for protecting Srebrenica and Zepa in eastern Bosnia. The French role is even more despicable because UN forces at the time were commanded by the French general, Bernard Janvier, who was very close to the Serb general, Ratko Mladic, another indicted war-criminal, who ordered the Srebrenica massacre. Srebrenica and five other Bosnian towns were designated by the UN in May 1994 as "safe havens," and put under the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). The Bosnians were first completely disarmed. Initially the US had ridiculed the "safe havens" idea; US secretary of state Warren Christopher had described them as shooting galleries and too dangerous even for US troops, but later agreed to them. It is interesting to note that the so-called safe havens were not considered safe for fully armed western troops, yet still supposed to be safe for unarmed civilians. Within a year Srebrenica was attacked and overrun by Serbian forces. In the massacre that followed, an estimated 20,000 civilians, all of them Muslim, were murdered, including children as young as 10 years old. Hundreds of women were raped, although many of them were let go because the Serbs were on a killing spree and wanted to eliminate as many Bosnian men as possible. Some of the massacre was video-filmed by a Serb cameraman, but the Dutch confiscated the recording because the area lay under their jurisdiction. The video-footage clearly showed Dutch complicity in the massacre. In September 1995 general Hans Couzy, then commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, openly admitted that he had ordered that the video-footage be destroyed because it identified Dutch soldiers. The reason, though not stated, was that they had stood by and done nothing to protect Bosnian civilians; the evidence of the video-tape made them liable to prosecution. In 1999, UN secretary general Kofi Annan belatedly admitted: "We committed unforgivable mistakes in assessing the extent of the evil that we were facing, and because of that we did not succeed in protecting the inhabitants of Srebrenica from the planned attack and massacre." Annan was being less than honest: the UN forces were complicit in the murder of civilians; the Dutch even helped the Serbs to separate the very young boys from those who were 10 years and older. Equally dishonest have been the French, who resisted attempts to clarify the role played by general Janvier. There was pressure from a number of organisations, especially the charity M?d?cins Sans Frontieres, which suspected that Janvier was acting on instructions from the highest levels in the French government, especially then prime minister Alain Juppe, and demanded that his role in the Srebrenica massacre be investigated. Last year the French government reluctantly set up a commission of inquiry. Juppe, who appeared before the commission, denied that he talked about Srebrenica with Janvier. The general, however, gave his testimony behind closed doors after the media and public had been cleared out. Why, if Janvier really had nothing to hide? The fact is that Janvier gave the Serbs the green light to invade Srebrenica, provided that the UNPROFOR soldiers being held hostage by the Serbs, of whom a large number were French, were released unharmed. Janvier had met Mladic a number of times before the Srebrenica massacre and assured him there would be no UN intervention. This is not mere speculation. When the Serbs surrounded Srebrenica and started to bomb the town, the Dutch contingent called for air-strikes, according to the UN?s "safe heavens" mandate. Janvier obstructed every effort to bomb the Serbs. This is in sharp contrast to the spurious allegations made by French troops at the time: that Bosnian snipers were targeting their own people in order to gain western sympathy! The report was submitted to Boutros Ghali, then UN secretary general, but published only on August 2, 1995, in the New York Times. The timing of the report?s release could not be accidental. The Dutch cannot be exonerated either, but at least they have shed some light on the role played by Janvier. Two senior Dutch officials, ex-defence minister Joris Voorhoeve and ex-foreign minister Hans van Mierlo, appeared before the French inquiry and insisted that, contrary to Janvier?s claims, the Dutch did not block requests for intervention despite some Dutch soldiers being taken hostage by the Serbs in Srebrenica. The Dutch have now admitted that their troops capitulated to the Serbs, but they are refusing to accept further responsibility. The Dutch version of Janvier?s role amounts to his being guilty of criminal collusion with the Serbs. But the French inquiry is unlikely to allow the whole truth to emerge. Such commissions are intended to cover up the wrongdoing of high officials in the west, rather than expose them. The Bosnians were put under an arms embargo to prevent them from defending themselves against the marauding Serbs; why should the same west allow the truth to emerge six years later, when the issue has largely been forgotten?

Villages Of Opaja and Hotel near Kumanova Shelled, Situation Escalates 4. PPD Reports Situation In Macedonia Could Get Out Of Control 5. Candy Store Attacked With Bomb in Skopje 6. Refugee Family From Kumanova Sheltered In Mitrovica ### 1. Seven Killed In Slupcan And Vaksince While Residents Refuse To Leave Homes May 4, 2001 PRISHTINA (KosovLive) - As a result of the shelling by the Macedonian military and police forces, at least seven persons were killed and many others wounded in the last two days. Macedonian forces shelled the villages of the Likova and Kumanova municipalities using all artillery in disposition, sources of KosovaLive informed from the field. According to the same recourses, the most powerful shelling went on in the villages of Slupcan and Vaksince. More than half of the houses in Slupcan have been destroyed from the shelling of Macedonian forces. "One helicopter of the Macedonian forces was taken down and a number of tanks were destroyed, while the National Liberation Army forces (UCK) were trying to protect the civilians being attacked not only from the air but also from the positions of the Macedonian forces from a distance," Hysni Shaqiri, former deputy of the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA) who joined the UCK, told KosovaLive Friday. Shaqiri said that the Albanian political parties should be aware that they cannot play with the fate of the people. "I think that what the NLA requests is a reality that belongs to political parties as well, but they are not in a position to do this." "The fact that the demands are very realistic, political parties also have a historical responsibility toward the people and the conditions that the Albanian population is facing at the moment," Shaqiri said. The president of the Likova municipality, Hysamedin Halili, also confirmed for KosovaLive, about the seven killed and several wounded. "It is a war. People are hiding inside their basements; they are still in the village not wanting to leave their houses. The Macedonian government has given an ultimatum to leave the village until 4 p.m., but nobody has left the village," Halili said. While the shelling continues even after 4:30 p.m., the city of Kumanova awaits the curfew that begins from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. (hm) ### 2. "They Are Burning Us Alive," Residents of Slupcan Call For Help May 4, 2001 PRISHTINA (KosovaLive) - The number of victims comes to at least five from the shelling of villages near Kumanova, Albanian sources from the conflict zone reported. Besides the two killed in last night's shelling in Slupcan, Albanian sources said three residents of Vaksince lost their lives during Thursday's shelling. The same resources reported that a helicopter of the Macedonian forces helicopter was taken down at around 11 a.m. and two tanks were put on fire. One NLA soldier is also reported to have been wounded. Contacted through a mobile phone, 34-year old Iljaz from the village of Slupcan told KosovaLive that his seven-member family is hiding in the basement of their house together with 33 other resident of the village. "We are all gathered in the basement and nobody dares to go out. We are afraid that they will burn as alive. The Macedonians don't care where they shell, and they are also shoot at civilians," Iljazi said, explaining that the bombing had continued throughout last night and today until 2 p.m. Two elderly people of the village were killed and two children wounded. "We are all here. All five thousand residents of the village do not intend to leave the village, even though we do not have electricity or any contact with the outside world as our phones are down," Iljazi said. He also said the National Liberation Army forces are in village. "We feel safe while they are her to protect us. Who knows what would happened to us if they were not here," he added. Iljazi also said that even though the villagers have little food reserves, food is not a problem. "We do not even think about eating since yesterday," he said. (al) ### 3. Villages Of Opaja and Hotel near Kumanova Shelled, Situation Escalates May 4, 2001 SKOPJE/KUMANOVA (KosovaLive) - Macedonian forces are shelling two more Albanian villages in the Kumanovo area, northeast of Skopje Friday. Albanian sources from the area reported that shelling was taking place in the villages of Opaja and Hotel, describing the situation as tense and escalating. The shelling started Friday 8 a.m., when Albanian journalists saw Macedonian special units called "Wolfs" and "Scorpions" firing on the villages from positions at Kumanova's civil airport. Two elderly Albanian males, Ramiz Demiri (63) and Remzi Osmani (54), were killed and three others were wounded, including a nine-year old girl, in the Macedonian offensive Thursday afternoon in the village of Slupcane. Albanian sources in the area said tens of Albanian homes were destroyed in Slupcane and Vaksince, which were the target of the offensive of the Macedonian forces. However, local leaders from the area said the Albanian inhabitants of the villages have preferred to take refugee in their basements rather than leave their villages in response to the government ultimatum. "Not one of the residents has moved, they are all in their basements," Husamedin Hasani, president of the Likova municipality, said. "The situation is very serious. We appeal to the international factor to intervene in solving the crises," he added. Meanwhile, the forces of the National Liberation Army (NLA) said that a Macedonian helicopter was taken down during its flight over Slupcan. An NLA commander said that the NLA is ready to face possible ground offensives. ### 4. PPD Reports Situation In Macedonia Could Get Out Of Control May 4, 2001 TETOVA (KosovaLive) - The security situation in Macedonia is quite dramatic and could escalate out of control at any moment, the president of Party for Democratic Prosperity (PDP), Imer Imeri, said Friday in Tetova. He criticized the Macedonian government, but at the same time called upon both sides of the conflict to give up their weapons and sit around a negotiation table and begin dialogue in finding a solution to the crises. "The incidents in the villages near Kumanova clearly show that the Macedonian government is not willing to solve the crisis but, on the contrary, is escalating it," Imeri said. According to Imeri, the ultimatum given by the Macedonian Prime Minister to the Albanian population in the conflict zone that they should leave their houses before the offensive begins, is only a "bluff" of the government. "The Macedonian army began the shelling much earlier than the ultimatum expired. In fact, the government deceived the inhabitants," Imeri told journalists. According to him, the PPD is concerned about the condition of the population in the villages of the conflict at this moment. Imeri said that the PPD "fears that such operations could lead to a humanitarian disaster and cause retaliation of wide dimensions." Imeri once again emphasized that the solution of current political problems with weapons is not preferable and that PPD requesting that both sides give up their weapons and in order to create an atmosphere of serious and effective talks.

Sources from Macedonia's Ministry of Internal Affairs in Skopje said the candy store was attacked with a bomb, and there were no victims in the incident. However, there was considerable material damage. The attack in Palma happened on the second night of the firearm attacks against Albanians and burning of Albanian businesses, in which one person from Kosova lost his life. (ar) ### 6. Refugee Family From Kumanova Sheltered In Mitrovica May 4, 2001 MITROVICA (KosovaLive) - After the latest turbulences in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, the first refugee family from Kumanova arrived Thursday night in Shipol near Mitrovica. The eight-member family arrived at their relatives after many difficulties in reaching the Hani i Elezit border point. Meanwhile, 14 other members of the family who are left in Kumanova are expected to arrive Friday.

The comments from Prime Minister Ljbuco Georgievski followed a series of rebel ambushes of security forces and the steady bombardment of insurgent positions in the northern part of Macedonia - attacks that have deepened fears the country is on the verge of civil war. ``What is happening on the territory of Macedonia is war,'' Georgievski told reporters outside an emergency session of the Macedonian government leadership. ``Those people who are doing this have the aim of conquering the territory.'' A declaration of a state of war needs the approval of a two-thirds majority of the 120-member Parliament, but it was not immediately clear if the government could round up the support. The legislature was expected to meet Tuesday, but the statements from Georgievski suggested he could try reshuffle the government before that. If approved, the declaration would give President Boris Trajkovski the power to rule by decree and appoint a government of his choosing. It would also give him the ability to seal the borders, ban public gatherings, and impose a curfew. Georgievski also said joint action against the rebels could be taken with the government in neighoring Yugoslavia, where ethnic Albanian insurgents operate in of the province of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians, who account for roughly a third of Macedonia's 2 million people, argue they are treated as second class citizens and want the constitution rewritten to give them equal status. Fighting between the government and the rebels began in February. Carlo Ungaro, the Organization for Security and Cooperation (news - web sites)'s Macedonia mission chief, said that at least seven civilians had been killed since Thursday, when the government began the latest offensive against the rebels. ``We have young people dying,'' said Borjanka Stevkovska, nervously straightening the green onions stacked in her market stall in Skopje, the capital. ``From one day to another, it just gets worse.'' The 52-year-old mother of two teen-age daughters can hardly bear to watch the evening news with its reports of dead soldiers, burning villages and diplomatic wrangling - the somber signposts warning of another Balkan country slowing slipping toward instability. Just 15 miles to the north, the government pummeled what it said were ``selective'' targets, unleashing rockets from helicopter gunships and firing cannon and grenades at rebel command posts and sniper nests in villages dotting the border with Yugoslavia. So far, world leaders, including President Bush (news - web sites), have backed Macedonia in its steadfast refusal to negotiate with the rebels, whom the government views as terrorists trying to seize territory and carve out an ethnic Albanian state. The police and army ordered civilians to evacuate five villages, describing it as a precaution. Authorities demanded that people in five other villages also leave amid claims that the insurgents were using 3,500 people as ``human shields.'' But the rebels accused the government of firing indiscriminately at civilians and denied that villagers were being used as shields. Three Macedonian soldiers were wounded when their vehicle hit an anti-tank mine planted by the rebels, Defense Ministry spokesman Gjorgji Trendafilov said. Earlier Saturday, Trajkovski summoned leaders of major political parties, including ethnic Albanians, and announced an ``agreed-upon'' five-point plan to solve the crisis, starting with an evacuation of civilians from the fighting area. He pledged to include more representatives of ethnic minorities in a decentralized government; strengthen the rule of law; crack down on organized crime; include some minority languages in official use; and ``strengthen the civil concept of Macedonia'' as a nation. Rumors circulated among ethnic Albanians in the capital that the government wants the civilians to flee so it can raze the border villages, creating an internal buffer zone between the rebels and their ethnic kin in the southern Yugoslav province of Kosovo. More subtle divisions between ethnic groups have cropped up in Skopje. Xhemajl Fazliu, 27, an ethnic Albanian, looked over his shoulder before complaining that his Slavic-speaking neighbors would no longer buy his cabbages, potatoes and paprikas. ``Every day I would deal with the same people. Now they just greet me and go away,'' he said. ``I come here, but I don't feel safe.'' The increasing unease follows days of riots that shook the southern city of Bitola after the funerals of some of eight soldiers killed in a rebel ambush April 28. The government describes the riots, which destroyed some 40 ethnic Albanian businesses, as an expression of outrage to terrorism. Ethnic Albanians suggest the melee was a warning that they had better watch out. NATO (news - web sites) and the European Union (news - web sites), fearing fresh bloodshed, are sending envoys to Macedonia. The EU's security affairs chief, Javier Solana, planned to arrive Sunday and NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson was to join him Monday. ____________________________________________________________________ >>>>> Albanians in Macedonia Crisis Center (AMCC) <<<<<<<< http://www.alb-net.com/amcc ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ALBANEWS is not affiliated with the Albanian Government, the Kosova Government, any association or organization, nor any information or news agency.

Must Press Kostunica on Tribunal FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: YUGOSLAVIA: U.N. MUST PRESS KOSTUNICA ON TRIBUNAL Donors? Conference Should Depend on Cooperation, Arrest of Indictees (New York, May 8, 2001)?As Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica arrived in the U.S., Human Rights Watch urged U.N. and U.S. officials to press him to cooperate fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Kostunica is slated to meet U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan on Tuesday. ?Last fall, Yugoslavia was admitted to the U.N. with the expectation that it would abide by U.N. commitments -- including the requirement that member states cooperate with the tribunal,? said Richard Dicker, head of Human Rights Watch?s International Justice program. ?Unfortunately, cooperation has been halting and President Kostunica himself has done little but denigrate the tribunal. Indeed, he has said point blank that Milosevic should never be sent to The Hague. U.N. officials should make clear that this approach is completely unacceptable.? Human Rights Watch called for the Secretary General and other officials to raise Hague Tribunal cooperation as a central focus of the meeting. Following meetings at the U.N. Tuesday, Kostunica will travel to Washington, D.C., coincidentally crossing paths with Tribunal Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte, who is also in Washington this week. Kostunica will have meetings with senior U.S. government officials and representatives of the international financial institutions, where discussions will likely focus on a donors? conference for Yugoslavia, which the World Bank and the E.U. have proposed for June 1, but the U.S. has suggested be postponed until Yugoslavia demonstrates further commitment to cooperate with the tribunal. In a letter sent to U.S. Secretary of State last week, Human Rights Watch urged that the setting of a date for a donors? conference on Yugoslavia should be tied to specific benchmarks. ?No donors? conference should be scheduled until Yugoslav citizens who have been indicted by the tribunal are sent to The Hague,? said Dicker. ?Kostunica must also make a public commitment that Milosevic himself will be transferred to the custody of the tribunal.?

[May 4th, 2001] "This concern is strengthened by our findings following the March 2001 actions by the security forces against armed ethnic Albanian groups in the western part of the country. Available evidence suggests that government forces were responsible for the deliberate killing of 16-year-old Omer Shabani on April 3 in the village of Selce. We also received reports that families of ethnic Albanians arrested on suspicion of membership in the so-called National Liberation Army (NLA) were unable to obtain any information on the whereabouts of their relatives. Finally, our documentation suggests that government forces were responsible for the wanton destruction and looting of villages perceived as being pro-NLA, including the villages of Selce, Gjermo, Gajre, Drenovec, and Kolte.

Maqedoni, ?on nga ajo q? t? eskaloj? lufta dhe me t? v?rtet? maqedonasit ia dhan? flak?n. N? koh?n e fundit, ?sht? t?r? bota d?shmitar? se n? Maqedoni lufta filloi dhe jo me d?shir?n e popullit shqiptar, por me forc?n e Maqedonis?, e cila 50 vitet e fundit ushtron dhun? mbi popullin e pambrojtur. Populli shqiptar edhe pse p?rb?n mbi 40 % t? mbar? popullat?s n? FYROM, deri m? tani nuk ka realizuar barazin? dhe t? drejtat kushtetuese t? nj? populli shumic?, si? jan?: E drejta e p?rdorimit t? flamurit, arsimimit dhe aft?simit n? mas?, kultur?s, historis?, pun?simit etj. N? Maqedoni, shqiptar?t jan? t? pun?suar n? nj? p?rqindje shum? simbolike edhe at?, me 3-4 %, ku numrin e t? pun?suarve e p?rb?jn? t? pun?suarit n? shkollat me m?sim n? gjuh?n shqipe dhe me pun? t? r?nda fizike. Sa p?r ilustrim, po japim disa t? dh?na: N? asnj? shkoll? me m? m?sim n? gjuh?n maqedonase nuk ka asnj? t? pun?suar shqiptar? edhe pse gjuh?n e tyre e njohin perfekt, kurse n? shkollat me m?sim n? gjuh?n shqipe jan? t? pun?suar 10-15% maqedonas, t? cil?t nuk e njohin gjuh?n shqipe - te nx?n?sit, do t? thot? se patjet?r duhet ta njoh? gjuh?n maqedonase - t? m?simdh?n?sit, edhe pse ka shum? m?simdh?n?s shqiptar?, pa pun?. N? ARM prej 2000 t? pun?suarve ushtarak? -oficer? vet?m 31 jan? shqiptar?, kurse p?rb?rja e ushtar?ve n? Maqedoni ?sht? mbi 40 % shqiptar?, t? cil?ve nuk i jepet municion p?r arm?t q? i mbajn? si ushtar t? shtetit maqedonas. N? arsimimin e lart?, n? universitetet e Maqedonis?, regjistrohen vet?m 1-1,5 % student? shqiptar? dhe se sa duhet t? shkollohen dhe t? arsimohen shqiptar?t, k?t? num?r e caktojn? maqedonasit. Prandaj, edhe nj? sh?nim interesant, deri m? 1992 n? universitetet e Maqedonis? kan? diplomuar vet?m 48 shqiptar?! A s'?sht? kjo simbolik? dhe qesharake?! N? Ministrin? e Pun?ve t? Brendshme jan? t? pun?suar vet?m 2 %, kurse n? Sh?rbimin e gjeodezis? prej 1.000 t? pun?suarve vet?m 4 jan? shqiptar?; n? Sh?rbimin republikan statistikor ?sht? i pun?suar vet?m nj? pastrues shqiptar, e asnj? intelektual; n? Sh?rbimin p?r sigurimin e pasuris? dhe njer?zve asnj? shqiptar; n? Makpetrol asnj? shqiptar; n? Gjykat?n e Maqedonis? prej 650 t? pun?suarve vet?m 41 jan? shqiptar?; kurse n? Shkup, q? ka mbi 230.000 shqiptar?, n? dy gjykata jan? t? pun?suar 168 veta, kurse prej tyre vet?m nj? shqiptar etj. Prej k?saj, del se n? m? shum? instuticione, ku ushtrohet intelekti nuk ka t? pun?suar asnj? shqiptar. Ne dhe bota intelektuale e demokratike, pyesim, pse kjo k?shtu? Shqiptar? t? aft?, t? shkolluar ka n? t?r? bot?n, kurse n? Maqedoni nuk shfryt?zohen, por lihen t? bredhin rrug?ve ose t? pun?sohen n? m?rgim. Pyetemi, sa kan? shqiptar?t barazi me t? tjer?t dhe sa e shijojn? lirin??, dhe sa mund t'i realizojn? shqiptar?t aft?sit? e tyre intelektuale n? Maqedonin? multietnike dhe "demokratike"?!, pse bota nuk pyet veten ndonj?her? n?p?r samite ose konferenca t? ndryshme p?r k?t? "barazi"? N? Maqedoni filloi konflikti, maqedonasit proklamuan sulmet nga "terrorist?t" shqiptar?, duke harruar veten dhe bota sikur t? dilte prej nj? terri t? thell? dhe p?rnj?her? pan? "terrorist?t" shqiptar? - e jo terrorizmin e v?rtet maqedon ndaj shqiptar?ve, q? ushtrohet af?r 50 vjet. P?r ta realizuar planin e ?ubriloviqit, p?r p?rz?nien e shqiptar?ve nga trojet e veta t? Ballkanit p?r n? Anadol - Turqi, e n? vendet tjera, me nj? epsh shtazarak kan? p?rdorur metoda t? ndryshme ndaj shqiptar?ve, duke ushtruar dhun? fizike, politike, kulturore, arsimore historike, dhun? t? moralit shqiptar e tjera. Maqedonasit me planin e serb?ve dhe me urdh?rin e Rusis?, n? vitet 1981- 1990 m? sakt 1988-89 ushtruan nj? terror t? panjohur p?r njer?zimin, deri m? tani, me urdh?r t? ministrit t? at?hersh?m p?r arsim t? Savo Klimovskit, me prejardhje serbe, i mbylli t? gjitha shkollat e mesme n? gjuh?n shqipe, me preteks se ato prodhojn? "nacianalist?" dhe "iridentist?". K?tu kishte terror t? mendjes, aft?sis?, gjuh?s, kultur?s, historis?, sepse p?r sllavo-maqedonasit, ?do shqiptar i aft?, i shkolluar ?sht? armiku i sllavo-maqedonasve!!! E ?do shqiptar i pashkolluar dhe pavet?dije komb?tare, pa histori, gjuh?, art e t? tjera ?sht? kund?r vetes - pra, ?sht? shqiptar i "mir?" p?r sllavo-maqedonasit dhe "human", sepse prej "humanist?ve maqedonas" udh?zohet dhe drejtohet. Nx?n?sit shqiptar? nga Maqedonia, ikin, t? detyruar t? shkollohen n? Kosov?, me shum? mundime dhe peripeti nga pala e sllavo-maqedonasve. U p?rzun? me dhun? pa asnj? t? drejt? pun?simi, m? tep?r se 400 profesor? shqiptar? dhe mbet?n n?n m?shir?n e rrug?s dhe t? m?rgimit. Shqiptar?t, m? n? fund vendos?n q? ta shprehin mllefin e tyre dhe t'i tregojn? bot?s se si realizohen t? drejtat e njeriut n? Maqedoni. Zgjodh?n rrug?n e protestave t? qeta, por p?rgjigjja ishte sulme t? polic?ve, maltretime t? ndryshme, ushtrimi i forc?s, edhe n?p?rmjet mjeteve t? informimit dhe shtypit ushtrohej dhe inponohej urrejtje nd?retnike nga maqedonasit p?r shqiptar?t e posa??risht p?r intelektual?t e aft?. Pra, n? Kumanov?, p?r nj? koh? shum? t? shkurt?r, u rrah?n e u mbyll?n, u maltretuan dhe u fyen, n? m?nyr? ?njer?zore dhe shtazarake, m? tep?r se 700 shqiptar?, u mbush?n burgjet e Maqedonis? me shqiptar?, edhe at? prej f?mij?ve 10 vje?ar, gra e deri n? pleq 90 vje?ar. N? k?to tortura, fyhej dhe dhunohej kombi, kultura, historia, arti, n?nat dhe gjith? ?ka ishte shqiptare. Forca ushtrohej n? m?nyr? m? mizore me ciniz?m dhe urrejtje nd?retnike, ashtu q? polic?t maqedonas hynin n? sht?pi shqiptare, m? s? shpeshti nat?n, kur nuk kishte d?shmitar? okular? dhe b?nte lloj-lloj torturash dhe p?r k?t? shp?rblehej me grada apo materialisht nga ministria p?rkat?se e pushtetit "demokratik" maqedonas. Pyesnim, ku ishin ata, Evropa dhe t? tjer?t, ku ishin p?rfaq?suesit e tyre, si: Solana, Kofi Anan e t? tjer?, q? sot menj?her? ngrit?n z?rin p?r ta mbrojtur terrorin maqedonas??!! Pse at?her? ishin t? shurdh?r? Pse ata nuk k?rkuan nga Gjyqi i Hag?s, t? d?nohet Savo Klimovski dhe p?rgjegj?s t? pushtetit maqedonas, t? cil?t b?n? terror ndaj nj? populli, dhunuan gjuh?n, historin?, arsimimin, artin, kultur?n e shqiptar?ve, p?r t'i p?rz?n? shqiptar?t dhe p?r ta l?n? analfabet n? mes t? Evrop?s? Kur shqiptar?t me vetiniciativ? filluan dhe hap?n shkollat e mesme dhe Universitetin e Tetov?s, intelektual?t maqedonas, stafi i profesor?ve t? universiteteve n? Maqedoni, t? gjith? me tituj "doktor" shkence, protestuan n?p?r rrug?t e qyteteve t? Maqedonis?, kund?r shkollimit t? shqiptar?ve, e bile kishte k?rkesa q? shqiptar?t t? futen n? "KOMORA GASI" n?se shkollohen, e n? krye t? tyre ishin kryetari aktual i Qeveris? s? Maqedonis?, Lup?e dhe Borisi, e funksionar? t? tjer?. ?far? turpi?! Kujt i flasin, ata sot, p?r barazi dhe demokraci?!!! Si flasin se duhet t? mbizot?roj? intelekti??!! S'kan? turp??? Pse bota nuk mendon se kush jan? k?ta t? Maqedonis?, q? sot k?rkojn? prej Amerik?s e bot?s, q? t'i ndihmojn? kund?r ? terrorizimit ? t? shqiptar?ve dhe p?rfaq?suesit bot?ror? i p?rkrahin!!! Shteti maqedon, n?n drejtimin e serbom?dhenjve, rusoman?ve dhe bulgarofil?ve, gjat? t?r? koh?s ushtronte tortura t? pand?rprera ndaj popullit shqiptar. Viset e pazhvilluara, t? pastra me shqiptar?, me q?llim i izolonte duke mos nd?rtuar rrug?, objekte p?r ekonomi, shkolla, e objekte fetare, me q?llim q? shqiptar?t t'i braktisin k?to vende dhe t? mbesin analfabet. P?r k?to vende dhe shqiptar?t, organizatat e ndryshme nuk kan? dh?n? asnj? kredi, dedikuar zhvillimit ekonomik, kulturor, fetar etj. N? rajonin malor n? kufi me Kosov?n, gjat? luft?s n? Kosov?, policia maqedonase s? bashku me paramilitar?t dhe polic?t serb?, shqiptar?t e sidomos ata n? viset malore i kan? frik?suar, maltretuar fizikisht e moralisht dhe jan? d?mtuar materialisht, duke ua marr? me dhun? bag?tin? dhe pasurin? tjet?r p?r luft?tar?t serb? n? Kosov?. Opinioni vend?s dhe ai evropian, p?r k?t? ka qen? i njoftuar, por nuk kan reaguar. Pse?! Me koh?, duke u rritur presioni dhe duke u ngushtuar fush?veprimi i shqiptar?ve p?r bashk?jetes? nga ana e pushtetit dhe duke mos gjetur mir?kuptim dhe rrug?dalje me k?rkesa dhe dialog, shqiptar?t p?r t'i treguar bot?s dhe p?r ta kuptuar ajo realitetin, p?r liri, u detyruan dhe zgjodh?n luft?n! Pra, luft?n nuk e filluan shqiptar?t, at? e filluan maqedonasit, a nuk ishte thirrje e maqedonasve p?r luft? para Parlamentit maqedonas dhe a nuk u tha kryetari i tyre Boris Trajkovski dhe Lup?oja, t? armatosen dhe t? luftojn? kund?r shqiptar?ve? Sepse maqedonasit nuk ishin t? gatsh?m ta pranojn? dialogun dhe mir?kuptimin e shqiptar?ve. Pse bota nuk analizon veprimet e terrorist?ve t? v?rtet? maqedonas, por si gabim ?doher? shohin k?rkesat m? elementare t? shqiptar?ve dhe p?r k?t? quhen ?terrorist? ? ! Kurse ? pirat?t ? sllav? n? em?r t? k?tij ? terrorizmi ? mund t'i vrasin shqiptar?t p?r k?rkesat e tyre legjitime. Pra, luft?n e filluan sllav?t, q? edhe nj?her? ta mashtrojn? bot?n demokratike, me arsyetimet tashm? t? njohura pansllaviste dhe ta p?rs?risin masakr?n e Kosov?s edhe n? Maqedoni, por si duket kjo u shkoi huq. Si bot?s humane t? edukuar dhe t? kulturuar nuk i kujtohet se kryetari i shtetit dhe kryetari i Qeveris?, Boris dhe Lup?o, kan? b?r? thirrje publike p?r ta formuar ushtrin? nacionale maqedonase pa shqiptar?. Kjo nuk ?sht? diskriminim i shqiptar?ve?, po thirrja e ushtris? serbe, q? ka b?r? masakra n? Kosov? e Bosnj?, ushtris? bullgare dhe greke q? t? luftojn? kund?r "terorist?ve-shqiptar?", popull i cili banon n? Maqedoni dhe lufton kund?r rob?rimit klasik, nuk ?sht? terroriz?m klasik ndaj shqiptar?ve? P?r p?rz?nien e shqiptar?ve prej trojeve t? veta? Dhe, ndonj? marr?veshje p?r ta ndar? Maqedonin? me serb?t, bullgar?t dhe grek?t? P?r ?ka edhe vet? Lup?oja m? her?t ?sht? deklaruar se Maqedonia ?sht? Bullgari?!!!! Pra, edhe kjo, p?r bot?n qenka e drejt? p?r ta mbrojtur "sovranitetin dhe integritetin" e nj? shteti?! Kush ?sht? p?r integritet? Shqiptar?t autokton apo sllavomaqedonasit? T? cil?t ushtrojn? terrorin ndaj shqiptar?ve liridash?s dhe i torturojn? qe 50 vjet, e bota ka qen? e shurdh?r p?r ta?! Zot?rinj p?rfaq?sues t? bot?s demokratike, por edhe e t?r? bota demokratike, edhe ju n? m?nyr? indirekte, deri m? tani keni qen? p?rkrah?s t? k?tij terrori ndaj shqiptar?ve, pasi nuk keni reaguar ndaj eg?rsir?s, e cila reflektohet n? p?rgjith?si prej bot?s sllave si? jan? rus?t, serb?t dhe maqedonasit, por keni p?rkrahur urdh?rat e shtetit maqedonas, i cili ende nuk mund ta dalloj? historin? e vet. Prandaj, ai reagon n? k?t? m?nyr?. Pse e b?t? k?t??!! Sigurisht nuk e keni ditur kush jan? sllavomaqedonasit, kush ?sht? Maqedonia dhe kush jan? vet? maqedonasit? Si? ka th?n? nj? ideolog i sllavizmit, Dobrica ?osiq, i cili ?do lib?r q? ka shkruar, shqiptar?t i ka p?rshkruar si t? paaft? dhe t? pasocializuar dhe p?r serb?t ka th?n? "jemi popull i posa??m dhe i aft?. Ne jemi t? aft?, q? t? pav?rtet?n, bot?s t'ia b?jm? t? v?rtet? dhe bota ta pranoj? si t? till?", prandaj sigurisht edhe p?rfaq?suesit tuaj u mashtruan dhe nxituan e i pranuan deklaratat e paanalizuara t? udh?heq?sve dhe mediave maqedonase dhe luft?n p?r liri nga rob?ria shekullore t? shqiptar?ve t? etsh?m p?r dialog, e quajt?t luft? t? terrorist?ve, kurse shqiptar?t terrorist?!!!! Pra, edhe maqedonasit duke dashur t? shkruajn? histori se kan? luftuar p?r Maqedonin? dhe p?r t'i fshehur t? gjitha padrejt?sit? q? i kan? b?r? ndaj shqiptar?ve e p?r ta bindur bot?n se mbrojn? sovranitetin dhe integritetin e shtetit, e filluan k?t? luft?. Si mbrohet integriteti dhe sovraniteti, duke bombarduar popullin e vet dhe territorin e vet? Prandaj, sot, gj?rat mund t? shihen prej s? af?rmi dhe t? v?rtetohet realiteti, jo vet?m t? d?gjohet ndokush dhe t? aprovohen konkluzione t? gabuara. Maqedonasit, duke u munduar ta fshehin t? v?rtet?n, filluan luft?n- terrorin me q?llim, n? rajonin malor, n? kufi me Kosov?n n? komun?n e Kumanov?s dhe shkat?rruan t?r?sisht fshatrat Tanush?, Brez?, Malin?, etj., vodh?n dhe shkat?rruan pasurin?, shkat?rruan shkollat, objektet fetare, kulturore, shkat?rruan monumentet e gjith? at? q? ishte shqiptare dhe pastruan terrenin nga shqiptar?t etnik?!, p?r ta bind? bot?n se shqiptar?t jan? "t? pacivilizuar dhe nuk din? t'i respektojn? rregullat ligjore". Kur filluan shqiptar?t t'i p?rgjigjen dhun?s me dhun? se s'kishin kah t'ia mbajn?, ushtria dhe paramilitar?t sllavomaqedonas, me ushtar? t? paguar serb?, bullgar?, ukrainas, filloi t? p?soj? humbje, at?her? e thirri bot?n t'i ndihmoj? p?r zhdukjen e shqiptar?ve n? Maqedoni, sa p?r ta mbuluar turpin p?r mosaft?sit? e shtetit maqedonas. Politikan?t evropian? dhe bot?ror? si: Solana, Anan e t? tjer?, i besuan rrenave t? maqedonasve se shqiptar?t vinin nga Kosova, n?p?r male dhe vendkalime si "terrorist?", dhe p?r t? qen? rrenat m? t? bindshme mbyll?n kufirin n? Blac?, me Kosov?n, kur ky kufi kontrollohet nga dy an?t, maqedonasit dhe KFOR nga ana e Kosov?s. Si mund t? kalojn? "terrorist?t" e armatour n? kufirin aq t? kontrolluar dhe pse e mbyll?n kufirin? Edhe k?te e b?n? maqedonasit p?r t'i t?rheq? v?mendjen evropian?ve "humanist" dhe bot?s dhe i bindi! E gjith? bota filluan t? flasin me fjalorin dhe rrenat e sllavomaqedonasve! Si nuk menduan pak! Kush ishin serb?t, rus?t, bullgar?t e tjer?, q? vrisnin shqiptar? n? trojet e tyre etnike? P?r k?t? ka d?shmi, se nj? komandant i ushtris? maqedonase, bullgar, ?sht? vrar? n? betej? dhe ushtar?-paramilitar? serb? dhe rus? jan? plagosur dhe z?n? rob? n? malet e Karadakut t? Kumanov?s, nga patriot?t shqiptar?. P?r k?t? flasin edhe dokumentet e tyre. Do t? thot? se maqedonasit, p?rve? q? kan? armatosur popullat?n sllavomaqedonase me arm?t m? moderne, kund?r shqiptar?ve, ajo ka armatosur edhe t? huaj, sigurisht me para t? majme dhe prej ndihmave humanitare, q? ia jep bota, sepse vet?m prej tyre jeton. P?r k?t? ka d?shmi, por edhe ju e dini. Por, shteti maqedon k?t? e arsyeton se nuk ka ushtar?. Ushtar? ka, por ushtari i rregullt nuk lufton, sepse duhet pa asnj? arsye ta vras? fqiun ose shokun e vet, vet?m pse i urdh?ron nj? i krisur! P?r ta rritur frik?n n? popullat?n maqedonase dhe p?r ta shtuar urrejtjen ndaj shqiptar?ve, plasojn? teori dhe rrena t? ndryshme n? mediat informative kund?r shqiptar?ve. Japin lajme si ushtria maqedonase po pastron terrenin e minuar nga shqiptar?t. Ato jan? mina t? montuara prej paramilitar?ve serb? dhe maqedonas gjat? luft?s s? Kosov?s n? territorin e Maqedonis?, prej t? cilave mina, kan? p?suar shum? fshatar? t? atyre terreneve dhe sot, n? vende t? caktura, monton lloje t? ndryshme t? minave. Me k?t? arsye, e cila p?rdoret si alibi, ushtar?t maqedonas me paramilitar?, hyjn? n? k?t? terren dhe maltretojn?, terrorizojn?, bombardojn?, gjuajn? me arm? t? r?nda dhe mbyllin n? burgje popullat?n e pafajshme shqiptare. Kemi shum? raste t? fresk?ta se p?r hakmarje shfryt?zon popullat?n e pafajshme. Rasti ishte n? Tetov?, kur bab? e bir i vran? pa faj, me pretekst se kan? gjuajtur me bomb? ndaj policit. Si ?sht? e mundur q? "bomb?n" celular ta hedh? pas policit dhe bomba t? gjendet pran? t? vrarit, si? shihet n? fotografin? e montuar?!!!! Pse bota p?r k?so raste nuk sqarohet? Qytetar?t shqiptar? t? Maqedonis?, t? cil?t kthehen nga Kosova, maltretohen, torturohen, fyhen n? m?nyr? m? brutale dhe n? fund, i vihet thesi n? kok?, e bartin prej nj? postblloku n? tjetrin, p?r t'u shfrenuar polic?t e t?rbuar, p?r fund i jepnin edhe nj? sharje p?r n?nat shqiptare dhe falje cinike, urrejtje idioti. Kjo i ndodhi m? 21 mars, n? kufirin e Bllac?s, Qenan Memedovskit, bab? i pes? f?mij?ve nga Kumanova dhe Yaim e Zejadin Zeqirit nga fshati ?erkez, Kumanov?. Drejtorin e shkoll?s s? Tanush?s, n? post? duke paguar llogarit? n? Shkup, polic?t ia fusin thesin n? kok? dhe ?ojn? n? drejtim t? panjohur dhe ende nuk dihet se ku ?sht? dhe a ?sht? gjall?. Polic?t e armatosur, nj?ri me em?r Il?e, n? qend?r t? Kumanov?s para gjykat?s, qytetarin Tamiz Zymberin nga fshati Gushinc? me 24.03.2001 n? or?n 09:30 e pyet a ka dru n? Malin?, edhe pse ai i p?rgjigjet, nuk ?sht? nga atje, e p?rplasin p?r tok? dhe e rrahin deri n? alivanosje si "terrorist" dhe n? fund i thon? na fal, por n?se i tregon dikujt do t? vrasim ty dhe familjen. K?so raste kemi t? panum?rta. Nuk jan? k?to inskenime prej polic?ve ose grupeve t? specializuara??? Gjith? k?to skena, a nuk jan? hedhje e barotit n? zjarr?!! Pse bota k?to nuk i sheh??? Pse i mbyll syt?? Nuk mjafton kjo p?r opinionin se n? ?far? pozite jan? shqiptar?t???. Si e arsyetojn? p?rfaq?suesit e bot?s dhe evropian?t, vizit?n e Putinit "baba" i sllav?ve dhe i sllavizmit n? Ballkan, me tezat e tyre se ishte p?r nj? Ballkan t? qet? dhe pa luft?, apo hedhi benzin n? zjarr?? Edhe kjo do koment, p?r t? men?urit e Ballkanit, Evrop?s dhe bot?s?!!! M? 28.03.2001 n? or?t e hershme t? m?ngjesit, paramilitar?t serb? e maqedonas, sipas tregimeve t? fshatar?ve t? Likov?s, kan? tentuar t? hyjn? me dhun? n? sht?pit? e shqiptar?ve dhe t? b?jn? bastisje dhe t? burgosin shqiptar?t e pafajsh?m, q? t? ken? alibi p?r ta shkat?rruar dhe rrafshuar me tok?, si fshatrat malore p?rreth kufirit t? Kosov?s dhe p?r t'i p?rz?n? fshatar?t. Zot?rinj, shqiptar?t mendojn? se n? bot? p?r miq t? mir?, q? mund t'i kuptoj?, jan? vet?m populli amerikan dhe gjerman. Prandaj, mos lejoni q? edhe nj?her? t'i b?het e padrejt? popullit shqiptar?, shumic? n? Maqedoni dhe n? Ballkan. Si bota demokratike nuk e v?ren, se p?r qet?si dhe p?r Maqedoni demokratike jan? vet?m shqiptar?t. Pse bota nuk i kupton shqiptar?t??? A nuk shihni se vet?m shqiptar?t th?rrasin p?r qet?si, nuk luftojn? kund?r shtetit maqedon, edhe pse ka t? dh?na se n? Tetov?, nga qytetar?t maqedonas jan? gjuajtur fqinjt? e tyre shqiptar? dhe jan? plagosur. A s'e shihni se maqedonasit shkojn? n? fsharat shqiptare, ku luftohet dhe me autobus largojn? popullat?n, me preteks ndihme, por gjith? t? rriturit af?r 150 i burgosin dhe i akuzojn?, se gjoja n? dor?zat nga parafina kan? gjetur shenja baruti dhe b?jn? thirrje "mos" t? merren n? p?rgjegj?si - ?ka do t? thot? t? merren dhe t? burgosen fshatar?t e pafajsh?m, si? kan? vepruar, vet?m se U?K, ka z?n? si rob? ushtar?t e Maqedonis? me origjin? ruse, ukrainase, bullgare serbe etj., t? paguar me para t? majme, nga ndihmat q? ia jep bota Maqedonis?. Edhe para k?saj, Evropa dhe Amerika mbyllin syt?. At?her? nuk dijn? shqiptar?t se ?ka t? b?jn? q? dikujt t'ia hapin syt? p?r ta par? realitetin ose p?r t? gjykuar realisht. Shqiptar?t asnj?her? nuk kan? qen? p?r luft?, ata nuk jan? duke luftuar, por duke u mbrojtur ndaj terrorit sllav dhe jo nj?her? kan? shprehur d?shir? dhe vullnet, q? lufta t? ndalet dhe t? filloj? dialogu, por me nd?rmjet?simin e amerikan?ve, anglez?ve dhe gjerman?ve me p?rfaq?suesit politik? shqiptar? dhe ata t? U?K, sepse ndryshe nuk kan? besim ndaj maqedonasve, t? cil?t nuk mund t'i pranojn? shqiptar?t me t? drejta t? barabarta n? Maqedoni dhe n? liri t? plot?. Prandaj, edhe nj?her? shqiptar?t shprehin besimin e tyre te amerikan?t, por jo te t? gjith? p?rfaq?suesit e tyre, si? vepruan deri m? tani, pa analiza t? japin vler?sime t? gabuara. Amerikan?t dhe bota demokratike, duhet menj?her? t? intervenoj? n? Maqedoni para eskalimit t? luft?s n? Ballkan dhe v?nien e pun?ve n? binar?t e dialogut dhe mir?kuptimit, deri n? kryerjen e procesit t? marr?veshtjes nd?rmjet shqiptar?ve dhe maqedonasve dhe realizimin e mir?fillt? t? marr?veshjeve. Nj?herit, shqiptar?t kan? shpres? se amerikan?t dhe bota demokratike, nj?her? e p?rgjithmon? do ta zgjidhin problemin e shqiptar?ve n? Ballkan, e n?se ka nevoj? edhe vendosjen e trupave paqeruajt?se amerikane dhe t? vendeve me demokraci t? nivelit t? lart? evropian. Pra, mos lejoni t? bartni p?rgjegjesin?, ose nj? pjes? t? saj, p?r mosmarr?veshje t? imponuara nga pseudodemokrat?t sllavomaqedonas. Kujt i pengon dialogu dhe mir?kuptimi, atij t'i bihet si gjarp?rit n? kok?! -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed From azemgalica at yahoo.com Sun May 27 12:06:53 2001 From: azemgalica at yahoo.com (Azem Galica) Date: Sun May 27 12:06:53 2001 Subject: [Prishtina-E] artikull interesant ne numrin e sotem te "Gazeta Shqiptare" In-Reply-To: <000c01c0e4ba$9449fa20$97522c04@hppav> Message-ID: <20010525082200.97938.qmail@web14311.mail.yahoo.com> Bomba n? Maqedonifishekzjarre n? Tiran? V?shtir? t? gjendet di?ka m? cinike se fishekzjarret e hedhura dje n? qiellin e Tiran?s. Dy partit? m? t? m?dha t? Shqip?ris? nis?n secila me nj? fest? agresive fushat?n elektorale. N? t? nj?jt?n koh? qielli i vendit fqinj? p?rshkohej nga predhat e mortajeve. Dje mund t? ket? qen? dita m? e zez? p?r shqiptar?t e Maqedonis?. M? shum? se dhjet? civil? t? vrar?, mes tyre dhe f?mij?, reth 150 t? plagosur, ky ka qen? bilanci tragjik i bombardimeve intensive t? ushtris? maqedonase mbi popullsin? civile shqiptare, t? cil?t merrnin arratin? nga banesat e tyre p?r t'i shp?tuar vdekjes. Askush nuk tha dje asnj? fjal? p?r ?far? po ndodhte n? Maqedoni. Si drejtuesit e partis? n? pushtet ashtu dhe ata t? opozit?s. B?rtit?n p?r gjith?ka. Fitoren e tyre e shapll?n si shp?timin e Shqip?ris?. N? dhjet?ra fjalime q? u mbajt?n n? t? dy mitingjet e zhvilluara dje n? Tiran?, asnj? prej atyre q? nes?r pretendon t? marr? p?rgjegj?sin? p?r t? drejtuar qeverin? e Shqip?rin? nuk tha asnj? fjal?, qoft? dhe nj? fjal? t? vetme, p?r at? q? ndodh n? Maqedoni. Muzik?, postera, flamuj q? val?viteshin, njer?z me barqe t? k?rcyera q? ishin ngjitur n? tribun?, por mbi t? gjitha fishekzjarr?, krismat e t? cil?ve trembnin kalimtar?t q? nuk kishin nd?rmend t? shikonin fars?n e rradh?s, ishte gjith?ka q? ndodhi dje n? mbr?mje n? dy skajet e Sheshit Sk?nderbej. Si t? mos mjaftonte kjo, mitingjet u kthyen m? pas n? koncerte me k?ng?tar? t? paguar nga fondet e partive, t? cil?t k?nduan para turmave q? nga rapsodit? deri tek k?ng?t e ahengjeve. Altoparlant?t me volumin e ngritur n? kup? t? qiellit t? ngjallnin krup?. Dje u hap fushata elektorale n? Shqip?ri me show e fishekzjarre. Nuk ka miopi m? t? madhe politike se heshtja, harresa, braktisja e asaj q? po ndodh n? Maqedoni. Ca m? tep?r n? dit?n kur pretendon se po shpalos alternativ?n p?r t? marr? pushtetin dhe drejtuar vendin. Ajo q? po ndodh n? vendin fqinj duhet t? kishte qen? nj? nga pistat kryesore t? platfromave politike q? paraqit?n dy kampet e politik?s. Jo thjesht p?r patriotiz?m. Por dhe sikur t? zulu t? kishin qen? ata q? ndodheshin dje n?n bombardime e ushtris? dhe jo bashk?kombas, politikan?t shqiptar? duhet t? kishin shprehur q?ndrimin e tyre. Sigurisht n?se e kan? nj? q?ndrim. Dhe nj? nx?n?s shkolle e di q? lufta n? nj? vend fqinj frenon zhvillimik ekonomik dhe n? vendin e tij. Nuk jan? vet?m turmat e refugjat?ve q? shkakton lufta civile, t? cilat mund t? vijn? drejt Shqip?ris?. Por investitor?t largohen nga nj? rajon i p?rfshir? nga lufta. Ajo q? po ndodh n? Maqedoni ka dhe pritet t? ket? pasoja akoma m? t? m?dha n? Shhqip?ri. Askush nuk tha se ?far? roli do luaj? n? politik?n rajonale q? t? zgjidhet konflikti i armatosur n? Maqedoni. As q? imagjinohet pastaj q? t? deklaronin di?ka se ?far? roli do luaj? diplomcia e Tiran?s p?r t? zgjidhur k?rkesat e bashk?kombasve t? tyre n? Maqedoni. Dje n? dyja kampet u b?rtit p?r fitore. Q? dit?n e par? t? fushat?s u hodh?n n? aj?r fishekzjarre. P?r ?far?? Kujt i hyn n? pun? ajo fitore? ?far? do b?jn? pas atij "triumfi". T? dyja kampet shqiptuan t? nj?jtin avaz. T? djatht?t premtuan s?rish pensione 50 dollar?, rroga minimale 100 dollar?, p?rgjysmim taksash. T? majt?t than? se do vazhdojn? privatizimin dhe do integrojn? Shqip?rin? n? BE. Por asnj? prej tyre nuk tha se n? m?nyr? direkte apo indirekte, gjith?ka q? premtuan, kusht?zohet dhe nga fati i atyre shqiptar?ve q? nuk kishin dje mund?sin? t? shikonin fishekzjarret n? Tiran?, por p?rpiqeshin t? mbronin f?mij?t e tyre nga bombat. gazetari>> Ilir Babaramo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

As MIA reports, Xhaferi stresses that the so-called 'NLA' occurred "as a result of the dissatisfaction of the people", underlining that "those that are self organized, have political program and political representatives." According to DPA leader, Macedonia will exists only if it changes its Constitution. Unless it fulfills the requests of the Albanians, which are reasonable and guarantee the territorial integrity of the country, "Macedonia will fall in constitutional crisis." Assessing that "the international community supports the demands of the Albanians in Macedonia," Xhaferi stresses that it is being worked on establishing peace and demilitarization of the so-called NLA, which would create conditions for political dialogue. He thinks that the negotiations will end by November, and by then the demands will be fulfilled. According to Xhaferi Macedonia is a small state, which cannot resist the permanent political and military pressure as well as the destabilization of its institutions. At the end of the interview for "Monitor", DPA leader Arben Xhaferi concludes that "if Macedonia continues with its ethnic stubbornness, ethnic states will be established as the only possible model for establishing peace on the Balkans." sa/vd/16:41 From iizparshavxhiu at albmail.com Tue May 15 04:02:40 2001 From: iizparshavxhiu at albmail.com (Sokol Avxhiu) Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 10:02:40 +0200 Subject: [ALPSA-Board] ALPSA Grant Contract Message-ID: <00c601c0dd20$a022c8a0$0766a8c0@parsh> Po ju dergoj nje propozim te thjeshtuar dhe me shume te improvizuar per ALPSA Grant Contract.

Message-ID: May 16th, 2001 Dear Friend: I am writing to ask you to join us for our Fifth Annual Awards Dinner on June 8th at the renowned Windows on the World Restaurant in New York City (World Trade Center), and to place an advertisement in our souvenir dinner journal. Please print out the attached invitation, reply card, and journal ad form. In addition, I have attached a PDF file which includes the NAAC Annual Report and a recent letter we received from Governor Pataki, who could not join us with Mayor Guiliani at the NAAC hosted Celebrity Golf Tournament. As you know, every year we honor a number of people who have made a difference in the lives of the Albanian people. This year we will honor James P. Rubin and Bianca Jagger. Jamie Rubin is the former spokesperson for the State Department. During his tenure in that office, he also served as a senior advisor to Secretary Madeline Albright. Mr. Rubin played a pivotal role during the war in Kosova in helping to unify the Western powers in a common mission to end the genocide. He also directly engaged in talks that helped unify the Albanian parties and led to the end of the war. Bianca Jagger is a human rights activist. She was very active in calling attention to the suffering of the Albanian people of Kosova and adopted the prisoners issue as her own. Shortly after the end of the war, she traveled together with NAAC to the region to assess the damage caused by the war and to help focus attention on the plight of families whose loved ones were still in prison. In addition to presenting our honorees, we will also have a live artistic performance and a number of dignitaries join us. The proceeds of the dinner will support NAAC's mission to promote peace, democracy, and prosperity in the Balkans. See the NAAC web site and affiliate web sites below: http://naac.org/ http://www.hopefellowships.org/ http://www.handofhope.org/ Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to seeing you on June 8th. Sincerely, Richard S.
