Letter: Mortal danger in the heart of Europe
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.From Mr Sami George
Sir: Having just returned from an aid effort in Bosnia, I can safely say that our reputation among the citizens and humanitarian workers has reached new depths of contempt.
John Major, Douglas Hurd and Malcolm Rifkind are seen as the main international agents for a Greater Serbia, acting as a counterweight to German influence in Europe. Having failed to prevent the break-up of Yugoslavia, British government strategy since then has been to work towards a quick victory for the Serbs. The only thing that has got in the way is the determined resistance of the Bosnian Muslims.
As humanitarian aid workers, our primary concern is for the considerable loss to Britain's reputation as a defender of human rights and international law. Having lost our industrial might during the Eighties, are we now to lose our moral integrity as well?
Yours sincerely,
Sami George
