hi all

regarding Workers Aid for Bosnia/Kosova here's a snippet from Organise the 
magazine of the (UK) Anarchist Federation:
-------
In issue
217 of Black Flag a section entitled "No Easy Answers -Looking at the 
Balkans War" had as its core article a piece by a
member of Workers Aid which stated that "The Kosova Albanians have the right 
to call for NATO action". What sort of
message can this give to our comrades in Yugoslavia opposing the war? 
Workers Aid, in both their Workers Aid for Bosnia
and subsequent Workers Aid for Kosova guises have always been clear about 
"taking sides", with a twisted notion of class
solidarity which in practice only means calling for workers in Britain to 
support the Kosovar Albanians, whilst Serbian workers
for the most part are lumped in with their "fascist" government.
