A shocking study by Human Rights Watch shows how the Roma community of Kosova is being exterminated. Isabel Fonseca, writing in The Observer, has details.
It's not exactly a squatter issue. But only about 20,000 of the original 200,000 population of Kosova Roma remain in the country--and in many encampments they are enduring lead poisoning from old mines. Weirdly, Fonseca reports, the UN created the refugee camps the Roma are now languishing in, so the international agency bears great responsibility.

Hello Mr. Neuwirth,
I have a few questions that I would like to ask you in confidence. If and when you have the time, if you could please send me an e-mail at sumulong@grinnell.edu.
Thanks,
Lawrence
Dear Robert, I just discovered your website and I LOVE it. I am working for a small NGO based in South Africa which looks at how to make urban land markets work for the poor. We are producing a guide book for practitioners, policy makers and NGOs working on the African continent. I love your photographs, would you allow us to use them in our guidebook? We would of course acknowledge you and your website as the source. My email is ckihato@mweb.co.za
Regards,
Caroline
