THE "HUMANITARIAN" GHETTO
At the town of Orahovac, Kosovo, at the very
gate of the 21st century the German and Dutch soldiers of KFOR "humanitarian
troops" have formed a true Nazi-like ghetto where Serbs and Roma, men, women and
children; young and old are entrapped.
These people have to stay in the ghetto until
some Serbs admit of doing - what they did not do. You see, NATO has to have an excuse for
the atrocities done to Yugoslavia and its peoples. Someone else has to be guiltry for
their own war crimes. The town of Orahovac is the "war criminals" factory. The
women and children will be let go only if men "admit" a fabricated war crime.

Interview with 3 heroines and a call to action

"Vast numbers of people all
over the world have protested the bombing of Yugoslavia. But now, after the cessation of
bombing, we in Yugoslavia have entered the worst hell. Serbs, Roma, Jews and others are
driven out of Kosovo; some disappear; some are murdered and their murders attributed to
forces beyond NATO's control. Some, like the Serbs and Roma of Orahovac, are imprisoned in
a new Warsaw Ghetto." Statement
October 23, 1999 by Cedomir Prlincevic,
President, Jewish Community of Pristina, driven out of his home in Kosovo by the Kosovo
Liberation Army (KLA) and NATO) |
"The whole scene was one of
horror, the children crying, us women trying to convince KFOR [i.e., NATO officers]. The
Dutch Commander shouted: "ENOUGH! Just those who came should go back on the truck and
the children must go back where they came." So there was more crying and the women
were crying and shouting, and he screamed: "ENOUGH!" So we left, but the
children were forced to return to Orahovac." Natasha, visitor to her family in Orahovac, Kosovo. She is
interviewed below. |
Following are excerpts from three interviews with
members of the Women's Humanitarian Committee on Orahovac. These women have been fighting
against all odds to free their relatives from a nightmare that defies summary description:
you must read the interviews to grasp the horror of what NATO (KFOR) has done.
On Oct. 23, I described these interviews to a large antiwar meeting in Amsterdam. People
were horrified at the role of Dutch KFOR. On the 28th Nico Varkevisser of Global
Reflexion, Cedomir Prelincevic, the Jewish leader and refugee from Pristina and I
addressed party representatives from the Military Committee of the Dutch Parliament. Some
were moved; at least one (the Christian Democrat) simply did not want to hear about
Orahovac. The Dutch government is only beginning to realize that Orahovac is their
nightmare as well; this scandal challenges their legitimacy.
The Orahovac Women, are urging all decent people to join with them
in the International Humanitarian Committee on Orahovac. As the Women suggest, the
International Committee calls on you to:
1) Protest to the Dutch government.
(Email and fax addresses are at the end)
2) Join and help the International Committee. Email SaveFamilies@aol.com or write to
Orahovac Committee c/o Global Reflexion, PO Box 59262, 1040 KG, Amsterdam, Holland
3) Support the International Delegation which will go to Orahovac to bring out everyone
who wants to leave. For more details, see the heading SAVE THE FAMILES after the
interviews. |
Please read these interviews. See what NATO is
doing IN OUR NAME.
Jared Israel was the interviewer. Petar Makara translated.
Also included are excerpts from "To Kosovo and Back" by Zoran, a Serbian
diplomatic aide who toured Kosovo a month ago. His complete report can be read at http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/zoran/&back.htm
INTERVIEW #1 - NATASHA
The first woman we interviewed was Natasha, age 27. An Orahovac native, she studied in
Belgrade until December, 1998, then returned home. In August, 1999, she escaped from
Orahovac. Natasha says 3000 Serbs remain in the town. When the Yugoslav Army retreated in
June and KFOR (NATO) occupation troops arrived:
Natasha: "Maybe a thousand or more Serbs left. Orahovac is unique in that so many did
stay; thats because we believed KFOR guarantees that wed be safe. When it
became clear things werent going to be that way, people wanted to leave, but they
were not allowed. Besides the Serbs, 500-1000 Roma, or 'Gypsies', stayed."
WHY MOST SERBS STAYED IN ORAHOVAC
Natasha: "From April on our telephone connections as well as Serbian radio and TV
were cut off thanks to NATO bombing. We had little information about what was happening in
the rest of the country. We heard that after the June Peace Agreement was signed there was
a massive exodus of Serbs from Prizren and elsewhere but we couldnt verify it so we
wondered if it was true. Meanwhile, we were constantly being told by
Western media that our security would be guaranteed - for instance, by Voice of
America, which we heard via satellite connections. They used phrases about multiethnic,
multicultural society and their Democracy and promised first to disarm KLA, then to
establish their laws. "The morning before KFOR arrived there was a meeting of their
representatives with the Mayor, a Serb, plus other Serbs including the head of the largest
Orahovac business - the winery. KFOR said that in two days or so life would return to
normal. The next day the houses were burning."
KFOR ARRIVES BRINGING KLA & TERROR
Natasha: "With KFOR, the KLA came. The same day. Some neighbors even appeared in KLA
uniforms. We were horrified. Suddenly we didnt feel safe [in the mixed section of
Orahovac] so we moved to the Serbian part. "As we were leaving we saw, already,
Serbian houses being burned. KFOR did nothing. We complained; they said they didnt
have enough people. Soon reinforcements arrived but the situation stayed the same for a
month. Over a hundred houses were burned. And they robbed whatever they could. A few
"Gypsy" (Roma) houses were burned too. Twenty-five people who stayed in the
mixed section were kidnapped, plus their houses were burned too. "Slowly we realized
the extent of the mistake wed made in not leaving Orahovac all together. Every day
KFOR offered new excuses for not protecting us. They said: 'We cant put guards in
front of every house. We cant give every Serb an armed guard.'
THE TWO RINGS ROUND THE GHETTO
"The KFOR checkpoint is close to the ghetto. KFOR guards the entrance and exit to the
Serbian area. Plus there are barricades, which the Albanians put up. First you hit KFOR
and second you hit the Albanian barricades. KFOR supplied tents for the Albanians who are
sitting on those barricades. And they ran electric wiring into those tents to provide
current."
[In his article in emperors-clothes, Zoran reports "Albanian roadblocks outside
Orahovac are former German/Dutch fortified checkpoints. I can not imagine that Albanians
could have taken control of those without [KFOR's] tacit approval or instigation.
The KLA organizing committee at the roadblocks is armed. Heavier weapons are kept in
hundreds of tents erected around the barricades supposedly for women and children.
Muscular men in sport suits patrolling the site carry small firearms under their
jackets."]
CONDITIONS IN THE GHETTO
Natasha: "We were kept in this Serb enclave. My parents can come out on the streets
but thats dangerous; two people were wounded just being outside the house. Those who
have tried to escape simply disappeared. "There is no phone service to Belgrade. The
only food is from humanitarian sources. One "Gypsy" tried to ship food from the
Albanian to the Serbian section; some extreme Albanian group told him, "No food for
the Serbs!" Near the beginning we would send some Albanian kid to buy stuff for us.
But the kid would be beaten up and they would tell him 'Don't do that again!'
"The ghetto is 500 square yards. Water is erratic: once in three days for two or
three hours.
"During the first days there were lots of Western reporters. Later there were fewer;
I spoke to a Reuters' journalist twice. The second time he said the first interview had
been all censored and crossed out."
[Zoran reports: "In the first days after KFOR's arrival, 5 Orahovac Serbs were killed
and 10 abducted under the watchful eyes of German troops. Serbs aren't even allowed to go
to the market or grocery store 50 meters away. The considerable Gypsy population, together
with the Serbs, suffers equally."]
Natasha: "The only thing that KFOR did was organize a shipment of bread to the
Serbian part; they were very proud of it. We only see KFOR in the street; there are no
meetings. The Albanians are in charge. They took everything. You occasionally have small
KFOR patrols but Headquarters is in the Albanian section."
[Zoran reports: "In Orahovac itself the former police station has been turned into a
KLA HQ. The local KLA commander, the man who runs this town, is a mass murderer named
Ismet Hara, responsible for last years abductions and brutal killings of over 60
Serbian civilians from Orahovac (the bodies of most are still missing), some of whom
it is reasonably believed he personally executed.
"Serbs say they recognize many local Albanians in the ranks of
the German KFOR. Probably KLA members recruited in Albania
KFOR denies
this
Ive personally seen KLA Commanders with their escort all
[illegally] armed entering KFOR bases with KFOR ID cards and never a delay."]
DE-FANGING THE VICTIM
[Zoran reports: "Early in the KFOR/KLA occupation, Dutch/German Baklava Units gave
local Serbs 24 hours to hand in all their weapons. (Note that the KLA has been given 3
months and still counting
.) The naïve Serbs complied. A few weeks later, the
Dutch/German troops entered the Serbian quarter in broad daylight, fired some warning
shots over the heads of Serbs who were gathered near a church and dragged people from
their houses. Serbian witness say they grabbed people by the hair and pulled them out
while kicking them
"The Dutch/German troops arrested the Serbian Mayor and two other Serbs, accusing
them of war crimes. There is no credible evidence to support these charges,
though the Albanian side has spread rumors that documents discovered in a cellar of one
house implicated the Mayor."]
Natasha: "Yes, that arrest was spectacular, just like that. I heard that KFOR had
masks. They arrested the doctor and the Mayor [and a restaurant owner.] They accused them
of war crimes. "Nine people were seized altogether. The second group of six was just
ordinary people. They had been working with the International Red Cross which wants to
evacuate old and sick people. The six were told they could leave. Then KFOR arrested them
at the checkpoint."
[Zoran reports: "From reliable international sources I learned the
arrests are an attempt to turn these people into "important witnesses" in a
made-up war crimes case against Serbs, not because of real evidence.
"Heres the strategy: first they isolate the Serbs, then they wear them out,
then they kick them out after extracting the people Albanians accuse of being
war criminals. To this end, they come up with all kinds of justifications for
keeping the last remaining Serb civilians in this monstrous new ghetto."]
REVEALING INCIDENTS
Natasha: "The people who left that mixed part of the town the first day didnt
have time to take any luggage or personal belongings. Not even personal documents. A lower
level German officer who was friendly and kind did provide us with an armed escort [so we
could get some basic necessities] and even helped with luggage. But soon after that he
disappeared; we [Serbs] never saw him again.
"In another case a common Dutch soldier saw an Albanian coming from a burning house.
The Dutch soldier wanted to shoot at the arsonist but his officer stopped him, and they
quarreled. We didnt see that soldier later either.
Their practice in general was that they would change the people who patrol the Serbian
area with the intention obviously that these people not get friendly with the Serbs.
ROUTINE BRUTALITY
Natasha: "In another case a Serbian woman was about to deliver. She wanted to go the
maternity ward in the Orahovac hospital. Ever since KFORs arrival, Albanians
comprise the entire staff at this hospital. She got a KFOR escort and was taken to this
local hospital; they said it would be a difficult delivery and to go to the larger town,
Prizen. KFOR provided escort to Prizen. The delivery was difficult and in front of KFOR
the hospital staff said that she should stay for at least 24 hours but as soon as KFOR had
left, they kicked her out into the corridor. So she spent the night on a bench with the
new baby."
[Editors note: Natasha then recounts how when KFOR finally came and brought this
woman and her baby back to Orahovac, her relative complained to a Dutch commanding
officer. The officer replied: 'She's alive isnt she? Why complain?"]
NATASHA RETURNS IN A CONVOY TO ORAHOVAC
[Editors note: In August, Natasha fled from Orahovac to Belgrade. There she and
other women with relatives in Orahovac pressed the Yugoslav government to intervene. The
government negotiated with KFOR for two convoys of women to go to Orahovac with KFOR
escort.
Natasha was on the second trip. After a brief visit, the woman met at the Serbian Orthodox
Church so KFOR could take them back to the checkpoint.]
Natasha: "I was there visiting my parents for three hours after a whole night of
traveling and harassment: more time at KFORs checkpoint then with my family. After
the visit a crowd gathered at the church. They wanted their children to leave Orahovac.
KFOR didnt want a scene so they let us get on the truck with the children. It was
quite crowded.
"Back at the checkpoint, they divided us women from the children. They made a list of
the people who came in with the convoy, and they said those people could leave but the
children had to go back [to Orahovac]."
HELL
Natasha: "The children started crying; they wanted to go with us. We tried to
convince KFOR to let the children go; they said if one "extra" person leaves
they would not provide an escort. And already Albanians were gathering around, kind of
watching what was happening. And it was getting dark.
"The trick was that the KFOR would bring us back only to our bus and from there on it
would be completely unsafe.
"The whole scene was one of horror, the children crying, us women trying to convince
KFOR. The Dutch commander shouted: 'ENOUGH! Just those who came should go back on the
truck and the children must go back where they came.'
So there was more crying and the women were crying and shouting, and he screamed:
'ENOUGH!' The children were forced to go back."
INTERVIEW # 2 Miriana
Miriana, whom we interviewed second, said the women went next to Pristina, capital of
Kosovo. Six women met with Mr. Ivancev[sp?], an assistant to UN Kosovo Chief Bernard
Kouchner.
Miriana: "We told him that this really felt like a concentration camp and that that
should happen at the gate to the 21st century was astonishing. Each told her story
separately. He said he didn't know too much about Serbs in Orahovac, he was at that duty
only a month and a half. We told him its actually a humanitarian catastrophe. He was
apologetic.
"He wrote down all we said. He said hed be talking to Mr. Kouchner in the
afternoon and would then contact us. We gave him our mobile phone number and told him
where we were staying. He promised to call.
"He did respect his word and called about 5 or 6. He talked to our translator
Aleksander and apologized because it was Tuesday and he couldnt go before Friday. We
agreed to meet him Friday noontime at the Turkish checkpoint [at or near Pristina].
[Natasha reports that a Yugoslav representative in Pristina, Mr. Tomovich, negotiated with
KFOR for an armed escort as well as the presence of a doctor and medical supplies on the
trip.]
CONDITIONS IN PRISTINA
Miriana: "We stayed in the Serb-run 'Center for Peace and Tolerance'. The conditions
were quite awful. We didnt have a place to sleep. We didnt have water, current
or food. It was really quite difficult but we kept in our minds the conditions of our
families in Orahovac so we were just waiting for this Friday to come so we could go and
see our families again and try and help our families.
"Right across from the Center were food stores. But we couldn't cross the street and
buy because we were Serbs. So we gave the soldiers money to go buy stuff for us. Our
translators or these soldiers would cross the street and buy apples or something."
KFOR CHANGES ITS MIND
Miriana: "Four in the morning the water came and we quickly got ready. 9:30 in the
morning we got out in the yard to wait for KFOR escort. Two Yugoslav representatives
waited with us. But the escort did not come. Ten in the morning came; eleven came; 11:30.
We were losing hope that wed be able to get to the Turkish checkpoint at noon. Our
representative [name unintelligible] said it seemed that the German KFOR troops [in
command at Orahovac] were now demanding a signed permission by the International Red Cross
for us to get to Orahovac.
"We saw that something had failed. So we said to a British Captain, he was in
uniform" 'Give us an escort; lets go now.'
"So that guy, whom we would be able to recognize now among a million NATO troops,
went to KFOR headquarters. And he came back and asked, 'Could you perhaps go to Orahovac
tomorrow but without an escort and without a translator; and if you agree, you must
respect whatever orders the German command there in Orahovac gives you." It would be
just us without an escort. Just the women without even the doctor. We were to come at 8 AM
and strictly obey the German command.
"So we said even that way we would go but we wanted a written document where the
conditions would be spelled out. This British officer said: no written document. We
insisted. He said no.
"Another night was coming. When it was obvious that these negotiations would fail, we
said, 'All right, give us an escort so we can go back to the rest of Serbia.' Immediately
he said OK; in 45 minutes we got an escort.
'You see we had insisted a document exist so that in case we disappeared there would at
least be a record. The bus we were using was from Serbia, with large Cyrillic letters. So
it really sounded like that, that we would disappear. They could spin the story this way:
they had tried to arrange a trip that was guarded but the women insisted on going on their
own against KFORs wishes and then this terribly regrettable thing happened. Due to
the Albanians desire for revenge against the Serbian oppressors, etc., etc. It was
so transparent that even a little child could see through it. We had hoped that on this
trip we would find some good people among the occupation forces, that there could be some
good people but we saw that there are none."
INTERVIEW #3: SIMCA
Simca lived in Belgrade for many years but has maintained close ties with family and
friends in Orahovac, calling and visiting frequently.
Simca: "Until the ninth of April I had phone contact. After that I was just guessing.
The connection between Belgrade and Pristina worked almost all the time but this Metohija
area, towards Albania, the phone lines were down.
During the bombing our contact was through the mail; it took 20 days, sometimes a month,
but we kept in touch. You have to understand that since June weve been pressuring
the Yugoslav government to organize some visit there." [Simca was one of two women
who went on the first trip back to Orahovac.]
Simca: "On this trip there were just two women from Orahovac. I was one. We had three
large trucks with humanitarian supplies. When we got to the Dutch checkpoint in Orahovac
the Dutch officer said one of the trucks could proceed into the Serbian area but that we,
the two women, could not. They would unload the truck to see what was on it and then they
would let in the second truck.
"I was afraid I would not be able to see my relatives at all. I started to cry and I
begged one of the soldiers: "Please. Please." And he just waved his hand as if
to say, "Go back to the group, go back to the others."
"Suddenly I saw this man nearby, a civilian; he was my Serbian neighbor and I was
surprised. His face is maybe similar to an Albanian. I said, 'How come you can roam
around?' 'And he said, 'Oh, theyre confused; they think Im an Albanian.' So he
was free and I said, 'Look, please dont tell my mother Im here. My mother has
a heart problem. I didnt want my neighbor to tell her that Im there and then
if Im not able to see them she might get sick.'
"When Albanians go through this checkpoint theyre not even stopped. They just
wave and KFOR waves back; its just us that are stopped. Albanians clap their hands
and shout 'NA TO, NA TO!' And the Dutch people are very friendly towards the
Albanians.
"This neighbor of mine did not listen to my advice. He went and told my family. And
suddenly I saw my brother and sister walking towards me. The Dutch soldiers immediately
formed themselves into a row and put up a barbed wire barricade. So it was I, then these
soldiers, then this barbed wire, and then my brother and sister on the other side. I was
crying on one side of the barricade and my brother and sister were crying on the other
side."
[Simca was weeping as she spoke.]
Simca: "I knelt down and begged him in English, 'This is my brother and my sister,
please help me.' And he just waved his hands, saying, 'Nein, Nein.'
The use of the word "Nein" here confused the interviewer and there followed this
exchange between him, the translator and Simca:
Jared: "Is that the Dutch word for 'No?' Thats not a Dutch word."
Simca: "I thought if I addressed him in English he would answer in English but no, he
said, Nein Nein'. "
Jared: "But thats a German word."
Simca: "I understand the difference."
Jared: "But he was Dutch."
Translator: "She knows that. Thats her point."
[Simca continued with her report:]
Simca: "Then this 'friend' of ours, this Dutch Major appeared, and I told him this
was my brother and sister. He showed some mercy and told the soldiers that these two, my
brother and sister, could pass through. So I was able to hug my brother and sister.
"My brother does not show his emotions. I didnt see him cry at my fathers
funeral. But when he came and hugged me he cried too. It was terrible. The other people
heard that someone had come from Belgrade and suddenly all of them were walking towards
the checkpoint en masse though it was not a safe thing to do.
"Once he saw so many people coming, this friend of ours, this Dutch Major, decided
that maybe there would be an incident so perhaps it would be better to let the women in.
So we got in. Its difficult to put in words what happened. People surrounded us
asking us questions: 'Whats happening?' 'Are we forgotten?' 'How can we get out?'
Questions and tears and worries.
"My mother was just 15 yards away but she couldnt reach me because there was
such a crowd. They looked at us as if wed come from another planet, as if we were
Gods, desperate to touch us and ask us questions. These people dont get newspapers;
they dont get TV; the telephones dont work.
"This Major, I was begging him to let my sister and her little children out. And he
said: 'No! Only those who came in can get out.'"
KFOR METHODS OF SEARCHING
Simca: "The procedure for getting in was astonishing. They photographed our ID
documents. A woman searched me. I had to lift my arms and spread my legs and she was
touching me everywhere as if she was looking for weapons. Just like in the movies. I felt
bad before and I felt horrible afterwards.
"First they look at the car, they look under the seats of the car, they look around
and inside. They photograph the documents. Then they do this search with their hands
around your body and then they do that to the next person and they tell you to stay aside
while they do that to the next person. I had taken cookies and chocolate for my
sisters children and they crushed it up and turned it over and inside out.
Simca was only allowed two and a half hours visiting in Orahovac.
Simca: "As we were getting ready to leave suddenly there was a number of young
people, boys and girls, who were all packed. They appeared immediately with suitcases; the
same thing happened with the second convoy. I didnt spend much time with my mother;
I have to admit that. I was concentrating all my effort on how I could save my sister and
her young children. The youngest is two.
Simca: "When we were leaving KFOR made sure to keep people separated. There were the
two of us, then a row of soldiers, then the barbed wire, another row of soldiers on the
other side. Then the German police, with red berets made another wall. We were to leave at
5:30pm but it took until 10:30. The problem was that three young girls slipped through the
lines and got into the jeep of a journalist who was with us. This journalist fiercely
quarreled with KFOR, demanding that the girls be allowed to go.
"There were more and more people coming from the Serbian section to the checkpoint.
This journalist said he wouldnt let these girls be taken from the jeep; KFOR would
have to shoot him. So the Major, seeing all these people and fearing trouble after this
long quarrel, let the jeep leave with the three young girls. He was very angry. He said,
"OK, you can leave. But you have not respected the Rules agreed on for this
visit!"
That is how the first outside visit to Orahovac have ended. The KFOR
"humanitarians" have lost three of civilian prisoners. The mistake was not to be
repeated. All of this explains why the Dutch officer had "Enough!" when the
Serbs tried to save some of their young relatives during the second visit.
* * *
[In a later interview (October 31), Simca recounted another conversation with Mr. Ivancev,
the Russian assistant to UN Kosovo Chief Kouchner, which took place October 29 (i.e. after
the two visits to Orahovac). Ivancev told her they were holding the Serbs hostage in
Orahovac because the Albanians had given KFOR a list of 200 war criminals.]
Simca: "Ivancev said, 'The war criminals are hiding among the Serbs.' I asked him:
'Then what about the children? Why have you refused to release the children for four
months?' He looked miserable. 'That's the question I asked Mr. Kouchner,' he said. And he
looked so miserable I almost felt sorry for him."
