Letter: Military action in Sarajevo: false parallels, other cities and deadly claims
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The holy Muslim month of Ramadan starts next Friday. During last year's Ramadan, the Serbs inflicted one of their fiercest shellings on Sarajevo and other Bosnian cities. The Nato ultimatum to the Serbs to withdraw their heavy weapons around Sarajevo should be extended to the Croats and should include all other besieged cities, such as Srebrenica and Mostar, in which much worse atrocities are being committed without the advantage of extensive media coverage.
We do not want to see a repetition of what happened on Mount Igman last summer, when the Serbs withdrew a few units only to replace them later. The Nato deadline must stress the withdrawal of all weapons, not simply a start to the process, before it expires.
When Muslims all over the world begin their fast on Friday, their hearts and minds will be with their brethren in Bosnia who are not able to celebrate this occasion in peace and dignity.
Yours faithfully,
