It is incomprehensible that this invading army (KLA) was allowed this type of leniancy by another invading army (NATO) on Macedonia's sovereign territory! BTW I just also heard that an American has been shot by Macedonian security forces as he was leaving the woods near a KLA controlled village when he failed to respond to the warnings of the Macedonian troops. The press-wires are vague as to who he was, they speculate he was part of an "observer" mission in the country, thereby suggesting deliberate disinformation to hide the fact that he was probably nothing else but a mercenary advisor working for MPRI.] In a message dated 25/06/01 18:23:53 Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << "We don't understand what's happened, we don't understand why the rebels could leave with their weapons, and stay here in the country, where they want to kill other people." Tuesday June 26, 5:21 AM Demonstrators demand resignation of Macedonian president over ceasefire SKOPJE, June 25 (AFP) - A group of angry demonstrators stormed into the Macedonian parliament building during a protest late Monday by at least 5,000 people demanding the resignation of President Boris Trajkovski, who was inside. [NOTE: This is an AFP report. The Anglo-American wires, i.e. Reuters and AP, mention in their introductory paragraph to this story that "some in the crowd" chanted "Albanians to the gas chambers". Of course such a vague reference is intended to demonize the Macedonians and draw the comparison to the Nazis that NATO propaganda has used in the past so effectively against the Serbs.] The group broke away from the main section of the crowd and a few managed to gain entry to the building, which also houses Trajkovski's residence. [Notice that the group carrying out this action was small and not tied to the larger protest action. Thus it must be difficult to characterize the actions of the demonstrators as having a single purpose as the headline does.] Most of the breakaway group were held back by security guards, but those who got inside began sacking the building, throwing computers out the windows, while others threw stones at the official cars parked outside, an AFP reporter said. Trajkovski was inside meeting with the leaders of the main Macedonian and ethnic Albanian parties in a bid to kick-start negotiations on political reforms, which stalled last week amid renewed fighting. The demonstration took place as hundreds of ethnic Albanian guerrillas filed out of a village on the outskirts of Skopje under a ceasefire brokered by the European Union, which guaranteed them safe passage without disarming [under full US military escort, a fact not mentioned in most wire reports although it was tangentally mentioned on the BBC]. The mainly [hmmm...interesting...who else might have been in this crowd? the answer comes latter...] Macedonian Slav crowd outside the parliament were incensed at the leniency of the deal, under which the guerrillas were bussed out of the village to the Black Mountains further north after three days of pummelling from government forces. "We don't understand what's happened, we don't understand why the rebels could leave with their weapons, and stay here in the country, where they want to kill other people," said one of the demonstrators, who were faced by a line of police. As darkness decended on the capital, the situation remained extremely tense, with Trajkovski being branded a traitor for signing the ceasefire. The crowd chanted "Trajkovski, resign!" and "NATO, traitor!" Some also chanted "Shiptari", a derogotary name for ethnic Albanians. Trajovski is a Slav Macedonian, like the vast majority of the crowd. [Again those "some" are so racist...] One demonstrator was seen taking the Macedonian flag off the building's flagpole and holding it up to the jeering crowd. [Okay, so now I'm getting confused...why would Macedonian "nationalists" jeer the "Macedonian flag"??? Or is there something more to this story...] The crowd were joined by uniformed military reservists, who had been mobilised at the start of the conflict with the guerrillas. Some of the crowd carried Albanian flags. Others laid candles on the ground to commemmorate members of the security forces killed since the conflict began. [Okay, so this paragraph leaves even more confusion. If this is an anti-Albanian demo staged by Macedonian "nationalists", why would people be carrying Albanian flags and jeering the Macedonian flag?...Obviously all is not as it seems in NATO-occupied Macedonia, unfortunately due to the lack of independent media in the West we can only speculate as to the real causes of this protest. Probably both Macedonians and Albanians in the capital are pissed off that NATO is backing the Kosovo-based KLA that is undermining inter-ethnic relations now in Macedonia...both groups from Skoplje (the Macedonians and Albanians) are probably 1) protesting NATO's backing of the militants who are destabilizing the country, 2) the current governments acquiescence to the domination of the country by NATO (BTW this government is widely believed to have falsified election results and is viewed by many Macedonian citizens as illegitimate), and 3) against attempts to polarize the situation. Surely in the coming days "paramilitary" formations will spring up and Albanians and Macedonians will be attacked, forcing NATO to further take control in the country...perhaps even run it as a military colony by the time this is all over...like another Bosnia...fuck the Yanks, lets hope all those living in Macedonia will know how to deal with the occupiers...] >> ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
