WOMEN REFUGEES FROM SREBRENICA CONTINUE DEMONSTRATION IN TUZLA

TUZLA, Jan 30 (Hina) - A peaceful demonstration staged yesterday by women from Srebrenica continued in Tuzla today. The women demonstrated against the ineffectiveness of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the international community in the search for 10,000 men from Srebrenica who were registered missing. They wanted to know about the whereabouts of their husbands, fathers and sons. Even after three hours of waiting in front of the ICRC office in Tuzla, not one of the ICRC officials appeared, so the women went to the Tuzla Canton Government building in order to get the answer to their question. #L# The Tuzla Canton Government stated that they were surprised at the behaviour of ICRC officials who in a public statement called the unfortunate families "raging families". The Bosnian Government promised the Srebrenica displaced persons that a Government official would talk to them. They were also promised to have talks with ICRC and IFOR officials on Thursday. The women announced another demonstration on Thursday and said that they expected little from promises and talks, should they take place. They also said they might go to Srebrenica, even on foot, if necessary. (hina) lm mm 302207 MET jan 96
