Demos in Bosnia & Cyprus

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

"In Sarajevo, a city still scarred by Bosnia's civil war of 
1992-to-1995, around 500 protesters marched on the US embassy to mark 
their opposition to the conflict" ("Weekend of Anti-war Rallies Start 
in Australia,"

*****   In the Bosnian city of Mostar, about a hundred Muslims and 
Croats united for an anti-war protest -- the first such 
cross-community action in seven years in a place where ethnic 
divisions here remain tense despite the 1995 Bosnian peace agreement.

"We want to say that war is evil and that we who survived one know 
that better than anyone," said Majda Hadzic, 54.

In divided Cyprus, about 500 Greeks and Turks braved heavy rain for a 
march which briefly blocked the end of a runway at a British air base.
