I appreciate the prior post. Just heard from Leigh Barth, wife of Brad Barth, who is the third volunteer from "Internet Friends." I will post the letter later, but Brad is safe and plans to go on into Kosovo with Avdullah Memetaj, the man from Mother Theresa and ERA TV who was so much help to Dana and Dusty as they gathered their info. KOSOVANS: BE PATIENT, ANNAN URGES 25 Jun. 99 – UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan appealed yesterday to hundreds of thousands of Kosovo refugees to be patient and allow the United Nations to prepare for their return home, reports Reuters. "I think the main thing at the moment is to get the refugees back in an orderly manner, to make sure that they have shelter and are prepared for winter and to settle them," Annan said in London. For the moment these human needs were the focus of the UN's attention, but reconstruction and administration would have to follow, he said. Annan said he hoped as many refugees as possible would be back in Kosovo before winter. "But we also need the time to be able to prepare the ground, to be able to prepare shelter, to be able to preposition food, for us to be able to give help to them when they get back," he said. "This is why we have been telling them to be patient." [UN's Annan urges Kosovo refugees to be patient – www.reuters.com]
