Letter: Need for immediate action in Bosnia - and the risks
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: Your article 'Sarajevo cries out for UN action' (7 February) makes me feel more keenly the exasperation and sadness I have had for the people of the former Yugoslavia.
I am compelled to write to remind your readers - nearly all, I'm sure - who feel as frustrated and desperately saddened as I that the action John Major is calling for now was called for once before, at the very beginning of this terrible conflict, by the leader of the Liberal Democratic party, Paddy Ashdown. He is a politician with military experience, and if he had been listened to on this matter - which should know no political party boundaries in this country - countless thousands of men, women and children would, in all probability, still be alive today.
Yours faithfully,
