🧵 Serb forces are starting to interrupt much of the delivery of humanitarian aid, and famine is gripping us again.

My family are on depleted stocks. Dad has had to go to Žepa, some 50km, through a part of the territory held by the enemy. The people are in despair, and so many people are going to Žepa for food because they’re desperate.

A large number of people have been killed in such attempts to search for food in Žepa, so I’m always afraid for Dad.

Bosnian Serb forces are blocking more and more food convoys from getting to Srebrenica.

Food and humanitarian convoys meant for Srebrenica are being increasingly blocked by Serb forces.

Two recently arrived workers from Norwegian People’s Aid have proposed a widespread distribution of contraception and sex education among the population of Srebrenica.

🧵 The war against the Muslims is in progress. Let us not fool ourselves. The worst scenario awaits us. This is our darkest premonition. NATO forces, under the pretext of defending UNPROFOR, will be on the side of our enemies and build military cooperation with them.

Can the military might of the Serbs act as war deterrence? That is for us to decide. The unification of Serbs which we are striving towards, I hope, will unfold across three phases:

I call for the first stage to be the stabilisation of Republika Srpska (RS) and Republika Srpska Krajina (RSK), which is in progress. Second is the unification of the RS and RSK.

Third is the unification with the national home. That is our programme. That is our national ideal, our national objective which we collectively will never give up on.
