At my homepage www.rolf-martens.com I shall add as soon as possible (still
being prevented from this however by an operating problem at my server's),
under "News with brief comments":
Saturday, 01 March 2008 (NWBC 351) Protest meeting held today in Malmö,
Sweden, against the separating of Kosovo from Serbia
2008-03-01, 23:10 GMT:
Note: Due to a still remaining operating problem at my server's from 28.02
on,
I'm unable to upload this to my homepage now. This NWBC item however as
usual
will be sent to several newsgroups, mailing lists and individual e-mail
addresses. I hope that my server will solve its problem soon.
We were some 350 who protested vigorously against the serious unjustice of
cutting Kosovo off from the other part of Serbia, at Stortorget, Malmö,
today.
The meeting was called for to begin at 12:44 (CET), this time point
chosen as
a reminder of UN resolution 1244, which says that the integrity of Serbia
is
not to be violated.
I among other things distributed some stickers with a picture and the text
"Svenska soldater ut ur Afghanistan" ("Swedish soldiers out of
Afghanistan")
and "www.afghanistan.nu", the address of an organization which I'm in,
saying
to other participants that that country too is one that is under
imperialist
attack by the governments of the USA, Sweden and several other countries,
and
that, for instance, lots of heroin from Afghanistan systematically are
being
sent in aircraft of the US imperialists to their big base in Bagram in
Kosovo,
Serbia, for distribution by that mafia there which they control - see for
instance message #1206, of 25.02, to the mailing list "Modern Marxism"
created
by me at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modern_marxism/.
These facts too
were
already well-known to many of those I talked to.
Here in Malmö in southern Sweden (population some 280,000), there are
rather
many people from the former Yugoslavia who have immigrated here, in order
to
find work and better living conditions. I have many friends, originating
from
all of the former republics of that country, in part because of my
interest in
chess, in which Yugoslavia has long been prominent, and in part as a
result of
my having worked for many years at the Kockums ****pyard here, where there
were
people of 34 nationalities including many Yugoslavs and which
unfortunately,
due to the imperialists' "green", anti-industrial warfare, was closed
down
practically altogether in 1987, causing further severe unemployment in
this
region. Also in Malmö and in particular in Trelleborg, a harbour city on
the
south coast, there are not so few Albanians, among whom I have some
friends
too. Certainly it's not in the interests of the Albanian people either
that
Kosovo be cut off from Serbia, of which it long as been an integral part.
Protest meetings were held today also in Sweden's two largest cities
(Malmö is
the third), Stockholm and Göteborg.
