X LIFT THE KOSOVA REFUGEES OUT The Rainbow Antiracist Organisation has started a campaign to get the refugees out of the Balkans into Norway. We ask all good people and organisations in Western Europe to start similar campaigns. The initiative from Rainbow Antiracist Organisation is called the "White busses", after the famous busses that saved prisoners from concentration camps in the end of the second world war from Germany. The idea is to transport refugees from Albania and Macedonia into Norway and other safe western european countries. This needs not be by bus, it can also be done with planes or ships. Dispute the fact that there has been a refugee problem counting hundreds of thousands since the situation in Kosova escalated one year ago, the authorities in western countries have so far done nearly nothing to save the refugees. It is not easy to understand how the tragedy that has evolved the last days could come as a surprise. The western countries claim that the refugee problem could be solved within in the neighboring countries of Yugoslavia. The fact is that these countries do not at all have the infrastructure needed to help a large number of refugees, while the western countries have all this emergency facilities. There is also a risk that the refugees in these countries could be trapped once again if the conflict should escalate. Some of the neighboring countries may now stop to let the refugees in because they lack the resources. Thousands of refugees are trapped inside Kosova because Macedonia do not let them in. The situation for these refugees are critical because of lack of food and shelter and exposed to attacks by Milosevics forces. Thousands of these people are condemned to die if an rescue and evacuation operation is not carried out immediately. For the Rainbow Antiracist Organisation Tore Vik Dear friends.
