| As
the trickle of refugees returning to their homeland
became a flood, with almost one million lost souls
on the move, he focused his efforts on the remaining
50,000 Kosovar Albanians trapped in make-shift camps
in northern Macedonia During the months that
followed, relief missions were undertaken to much
of southern and western Kosovo with the greatest
emphasis being placed on the devastated cities
of Gjakova, Peja and their respective populations.
Every Kosovar he met recounted horror stories
of unbelievable Serbian brutality. Perhaps most
tragic of all were the rape victims, the touched
women, who through no fault of their own had brought
disgrace to their families.
Twenty thousand Albanian women, many in their
teens, were systematically impregnated by Serb
soldiers to produce, as has now happened - Serbian
babies.
What better way to defeat the enemy than by striking
at the very heart of his family.
Contained within these pages are some of the
most heart-rending stories imaginable. The saddest
fact of all, is that none of them were imagined;
they were unfortunately, all true.
They didn't occur centuries ago - they happened
in Europe - in the last years of the 20th Century!
