BLOCKS RISE OVER PRISTINA IN

PLACE OF STOLEN ROMA HOMES

Speaking from Pristina yesterday [25 March] at the start of the Jubilee Symposium marking half a century since the First World Roma Congress, Sani Rifati delivered a powerful presentation on what he termed the ethnocide carried out against Roma and associated peoples during the Kosovo conflict in 1998-9.

It was, he told the UK and Polish universities’ event, the biggest pogrom suffered by Roma since the Nazi-implemented holocaust of the Second World War. According to research carried out with Paul Polansky, an estimated 130,000 Roma were driven at gunpoint from their homes and some 14,000 houses looted and burned. Hundreds died, many are still listed as “disappeared”.

While in the Kosovo capital this week to pursue a claim over own home, Rifati noted that many new buildings have arisen on land taken by force in the quarters [malaha] of Romani communities.

Also participating in the symposium, Ahmed Ibrahimi has submitted a Resolution to the Jubilee World Roma Congress

[opening Roma Nation Day 8 April] that 13 June be commemorated annually in memory of Roma who died in Kosovo conflict.

A special Jubilee Congress session on Kosovo will take place

on 9 April.
