“The situation is horrifying. In one incident, a mother was separated from her child on the streets. She had to be restrained from going to the child, who was only a few feet away, in order to prevent the mother from being killed along with her child. In any case, the child was killed. In the hospital, people tread through pools of blood. The situation is the same in the streets. We appeal to civilization to help us. The grenades are killing innocent, unarmed people. In the name of our citizens, we ask Boutros-Ghali, the world, and the media, to relay this request: Please use half of the planes used in Iraq [in the Gulf War] not to bomb Serbian positions but to bomb us. The citizens of Gorazde and the world will forgive you for this act, for making our deaths easier. I suggest that is a very powerful statement, with the mayor saying, in effect: Kill us, bomb us, to make it easier.”
