The Damned Balkans - a refugee road trip

Refugees have no rights and no voice. This is the inside story of part of the refugee crisis in the Balkans 20 years ago – now the scene of the greatest refugee crisis since WWII, which is becoming more dramatic by the day and threatens to tear apart the international institutions that purport to be the guardians of civilisation, just as it did 20 years ago. Nothing has changed since then, and no lessons have been learnt. It is a story of survival and the strength of the human spirit, and of betrayal by the faceless institutions that constitute the international community. A story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

The author is a freelance aid worker and legal interpreter/translator, with over 20 years’ experience. He has worked for the UK government (DFID), the British Red Cross, and Médecins Sans Frontières in the first capacity, and for the UN and the EU in the second.
