It's the West's fault for giving the Albanians control of Kosovo." And compare "We are fighting for rights - not territory" with "After days of fighting most of Tetovo is under rebel control" and see if the first quote can be reconciled with the second. We will not disappear, Albanian rebels say By Julius Strauss in Tetovo (Filed: 14/08/2001) IN the battle-scarred streets of Macedonia's second city, Tetovo - the front line of the latest Balkan war - there was little optimism yesterday about the peace deal. A band of ethnic Albanian guerrillas stood guard and the mood was grim. After days of fighting, most of Tetovo is under rebel control. Xhevat Ademi, a local commander, said: "We support the deal because it gives peace a chance. But the extent of the changes proposed does not come near the extent of our grievances. Problems will start again because the cause of the wound has not been treated." Murat Sulejmani, a guerrilla aged 27, said: "We are fighting for rights - not territory. They want us to disappear but we won't." The mood of the Slav majority was little better. Fearful of popular anger, the government barely mentioned the accord in the official media. The idea of making concessions to the Albanians is deeply unpopular. Nikola, a taxi driver, said: "This agreement means nothing. There will be war. It's the West's fault for giving the Albanians control of [neighbouring] Kosovo." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
