PART 2 - Washington Behind Terrorist
Attacks in Macedonia
by Michel Chossudovsky, Prof. of
Economics, University of Ottawa
NATO SPONSORED REFUGEE CRISIS
The refugee crisis has been deliberately
triggered by the US sponsored terrorist
assaults. Both Macedonian and
Albanian civilians are among the
victims. More than 100,000 people are
affected. According to the United
Nations High Commission for Refugees
(UNHCR) some 73,800 people have crossed
the border into Kosovo, and another
34,500 people are "internally displaced"
within Macedonia.31 In Albanian
villages occupied by the rebels,
Albanian civilians rather than being
"protected" by NLA "freedom fighters"
are often the object of intimidation
and reprisals.
In villages inhabited by Macedonians in
the Tetovo region, ethnic cleansing
is being implemented in the presence of
US military personnel who are
advising rebel commanders. The KLA-NLA
is reported to "have committed
unprecedented acts of terror against the
inhabitants, forcing them to leave
the villages completely. The displaced
persons from [these] villages have
strongly criticized the OSCE and the
International Committee of the Red Cross
- whose representatives have
consistently avoided contact with the
residents of these Tetovo villages."32
Entire communities are uprooted.
According to the UNHCR, the majority of
the refugees crossing into Kosovo are women,
children and elderly men. Other
reports suggest that the terrorists are
enlisting ethnic Albanian men to join
the KLA-NLA often through force and
intimidation. The evidence suggests that
those who refuse face serious
reprisals.33 The pattern in this regard,
is very similar to what occurred in Kosovo
in 1999 where entire villages were
uprooted.34
ETHNIC CLEANSING
Washington is indelibly behind the process
of ethnic cleansing in Macedonia. It is worth
mentioning in this regard that MPRI (the
mercenary outfit working with the
KLA-NLA) was on contract with the Croatian
Armed Forces in 1995, in charge of the
ethnic cleansing and civilian
massacres directed against the Serb
population in the Krajina region of
Croatia. In this regard, MPRI was
working closely with Commander Agim Ceku,
who at the time was a Brigadier General
in the Croatian Armed Forces. Ceku
was not only one of the key planners of
"Operation Storm," he was also
commander of the artillery division
responsible for shelling Krajina Serb
civilians. It is no wonder that the
pattern in Macedonia is similar to that
of Krajina and Kosovo.35
The same commanding officers from the
KLA and the MPRI are now involved in
the terrorist assaults and ethnic
cleansing in Macedonia. "Protected" by
American and British troops stationed in
Kosovo and Macedonia, the KLA-NLA
rebels now control a significant portion
of Macedonian territory.
BOGUS PEACE PLAN
Washington's design is
to prevent the Macedonian Security
Forces from fighting the rebels and
protecting its borders. In other words,
the hidden agenda of the EU-US brokered
"peace plan" is to gain time, drag
out the conflict, keep the Macedonian
Security Forces in the barracks while
continuing to arm and equip the rebels.
And this gruesome
military-intelligence ploy is possible
because the Macedonian President and
part of his entourage are puppets of the
US. Moreover, the MPRI, which is
actively advising the NLA, is still on
contract with the Macedonian
government "helping the Macedonian Armed
Forces."
Meanwhile General Andrejevski, who
recently resigned his position as ARM
Commander in Chief, is still in charge
as "military adviser" to the
President, acting on behalf of the MPRI
and the Pentagon.
In other words, key senior military
officers in the ARM are collaborating
with the enemy, against the lower
ranking officers and the ARM rank and
file who are fighting for their country.
Despite the divisions within the
government, Prime Minister Mr. Ljubco
Georgievski, has openly accused US
envoy James Pardew and EU's Francois
Leotard of "forcing Macedonia to cave in
to demands from Albanian guerrillas":36
"It becomes obvious that all of the
terrorist actions in Macedonia have been
supported by the western democracies.
Now, we practically have 95% of Ali
Ahmeti's [the NLA leader] document on
the table. It is clear that the
international community has decided on
its position beforehand, and now it is
trying to realize it in Macedonia."37
"'As much as their text is brutal, more
brutal and worrying is the fashion in
which they are trying to break up
Macedonian state institutions,' Mr.
Georgievski said ... The Prime Minister
further stated that the proposed
peace package constituted 'a serious
interference in the internal affairs of
the Republic of Macedonia'... Asked
about the extent of pressure Macedonia
could sustain, Georgievski said all
threats and blackmails had been
presented so far, 'except that NATO will
conduct an air-strike on us.' "38
THE ANGLO-AMERICAN AXIS
In the negotiation of the "peace plan,"
the Anglo-US position has prevailed over
that of France and Germany. In this regard,
Prime Minister Georgievski "underlined that
the French expert in law [former
Minister of Justice] Robert Badinter was
brutally eliminated from the
political process," meaning that his
recommendations on constitutional reform
were turned down by James Pardew in
consultation with NLA leader Ali
Ahmeti.39
Although NATO is not formally part of
the EU-US "mediation," EU High
Representative Javier Solana (who
occupied the position of Secretary
General of NATO during the 1999 bombings of
Yugoslavia) has been working hand in
glove with his successor at NATO Lord
George Robertson. In turn, British
Ambassador Mark Dickinson was appointed
in May by Solana to act on his behalf
in Skopje. British paratroopers and
Special Forces - -which trained the KLA
in 1999 - are slated to lead the bogus
"Essential Harvest" operation to
"disarm the rebels."
Increasingly, the corridors of
international diplomacy has been taken
over by military-intelligence officials
with previous experience in Bosnia and
Kosovo. James Pardew started his Balkans
career in 1993 as a senior
intelligence officer for the Joint
Chiefs of Staff responsible for channeling
US aid to the Bosnian Muslim Army.
Coronel Pardew had been put in charge of
arranging the "air-drops" of supplies to
Bosnian forces, working closely with
the Chairman of the National Security
Council Anthony Lake.40 NATO's Peter
Feith who has been "put in charge of
contacts with the [KLA-NLA] guerillas"
is a longstanding "colleague" of James
Pardew. He was political advisor to
the IFOR High Command in Bosnia in the
mid-1990s.41
REPLICATING BOSNIA AND KOSOVO
America's "mediator" James Pardew has been
given the mandate to replicate the
Bosnia-Kosovo pattern. In this regard,
Washington's military-intelligence ploy
is to fracture Macedonian territory,
foster internal social divisions and
fuel ethnic strife. The design is to
destroy all social and political ties
between Albanians and Macedonians, who
have coexisted for more than a half a
century within a multiethnic society.
These socio-ethnic divisions are
deliberately created so as to curb all
forms of social resistance. More importantly,
they want to prevent the development
of a broader "common front" against the
enemy.
The US sponsored terrorist assaults as
well as the bogus "peace plan" are
intent upon eventually splitting up the
country and transforming Macedonia
into a NATO protectorate. Operation
"Essential Harvest" to be led by British
parachutists would constitute a first
step towards a military occupation of
Macedonian territory. NATO forces are
not only protecting the rebels in the
territories under their control, MPRI
advisers on contract to the Pentagon
are assisting in the implementation of
"ethnic cleansing" in these
territories. In the latter, Macedonian
State institutions are no longer
functioning.
In other words, the territories under
KLA-NLA control - which border Kosovo -
are de facto under the jurisdiction of
NATO. Moreover, there are indications
that the KLA - with NATO support - may
attempt to trigger a unilateral
secession of Kosovo from Yugoslavia.
This would not only heighten the
political crisis in Belgrade, it would
also raise the issue of the political
status of the territories occupied by
the KLA-NLA from which the Macedonian
population has been expulsed (much in
the same way as the Serbs were expulsed
from Kosovo). In this design, NATO's
intent is clear, it consists in
fracturing and destroying Macedonia as a
country.
