Kosovo
Albanians: The Other Side I couldn't go home because it was possible I might be killed. I couldn't see my own children. Kotestka: He left Kosovo without anything. Seholi: I know now that KFOR and the UN arranged all of this. There was no bomb. After the NATO bombing stopped, I went with [temporary UN special representative for Kosovo] Sergio de Mello around Kosovo. The trip lasted five days. We visited almost every village and city in Kosovo and saw what damage resulted from NATO bombing and what damage resulted from gangs. I want to point out that Mr. Sergio de Mello seemed disinterested in damage from NATO bombing. Most of those who died from bombs were in fact Albanians. In just one strike in the village of Korisa, they killed 105 people. Mr. de Mello wasn't interested. Koteska: Most of those were little children, women, old men. Lituchy: What did you leave behind? Seholi: My mother and two brothers. Lituchy: Have you heard from them? Seholi: Yes. Lituchy: Are they safe? Seholi: The KLA's secret police visited my flat three times and removed all they could. Lituchy: What do you think the future is in Kosovo? Seholi: I think powerful Western countries have their own plans for Kosovo. Freeland: Following up this question of the bombing of Albanians inside Kosovo, did you notice a trend of more of them being bombed earlier in the bombing vs. later in the bombing? In other words, [did you notice that the bombing was used to] attempt to get them to flee, to make it seem like something else [i.e., Serbian persecution] was going on? Seholi: Albanians got hurt from all sides, but mainly from NATO bombing. More than 300 Albanians were killed by NATO bombings. El-Sayed: Do you think that NATO bombed Albanians purposely, to make them leave? Seholi: Whether that was their purpose or not, people were killed. The man who could command NATO to bomb people isn't human. After the bombing of Djakovica I saw decapitated bodies. I have pictures. It's horrible. Jasari: Now we see that the US doesn't care about any ethnic minority. Before NATO started bombing us, they said they're protecting Albanians. If they were protecting Albanians they wouldn't be bombing them. The aim of the US was clear: to create a Greater Albania, to sever Kosovo from Yugoslavia. The Western countries have military bases in Albania. They want to expand throughout the Balkans and have a controlling influence in other countries. Unfortunately, our Albanian people are the victims of that, also of Albanian terrorism. |
